Brakes in North Parramatta
Brake repairs at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, start from $150 front or rear: pads fitted on a common sedan or hatchback, with the brake fluid checked and a road test. Rotors, and European, performance and larger vehicles, are quoted before any work starts. We measure what is left first, so you are not paying to replace a part with half its life in it.
Each brake noise points somewhere different. A squeal is the pad's wear indicator doing its job. A grind means the pad is gone and metal is cutting the rotor. A pulse through the pedal is usually the rotors, not the pads.
More detail
Calipers are the other half. A caliper or slide pin that sticks keeps a pad dragging, so that wheel runs hot, the car pulls to that side and the pad wears fast. A pedal that sinks is hydraulic, and that one does not wait.
We put the car on a hoist and measure pad thickness, rotor thickness and runout, check that the calipers slide freely and test the fluid. The starting price is pads on a common sedan or hatchback, fitted, with the fluid checked and a road test. Rotors, and European, performance and larger vehicles, are quoted before any work starts.

Questions

Call 0433 950 192
Do I need rotors as well as pads?
Only if the rotor is below the manufacturer's minimum thickness or has run out of true. We measure it and tell you the number, and rotors are quoted before any work starts.
What does the starting price cover?
Pads on a common sedan or hatchback, fitted, with the brake fluid checked and a road test, from $150. European, performance and larger vehicles, and any rotors, are quoted first.
Why does the pedal go soft?
A soft or sinking pedal is hydraulic, air, a leak, or a failing master cylinder. It is not a wear item and it will not fix itself. Do not drive it, call us.
Do you replace calipers?
Yes, when one is seized or leaking. Often only the slide pins need cleaning and greasing, so we check that first. Calipers are quoted before any work starts.
What are the signs my brakes need work?
- Grinding when you press the brakes
- Squealing when you press the brakes
- The brake pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor
- The car pulls to one side when you brake
- Braking shudders through the brake pedal
- Clear or amber fluid pooling near a wheel
- The handbrake pulls up further than it used to
Brake warning light on: is it safe to drive?
- Check the handbrake first
- Make sure it is fully off. A handbrake that is still on lights the same warning.
- Still on?
- Have the braking system checked straight away. Ring us and we will tell you whether to bring it in.
- Pedal soft or sinking?
- Do not drive it. A soft or sinking pedal is hydraulic and it will not fix itself.
