ALL ABOUT BRAKES-MENU For everything from the brake pedal to the brake disc rotor and back to the brake fluid master cylinder.
Brake pads wear quickly, be safe. We check your brake pads and brake disc rotors, a FREE inspection. Brake pad dust on your mag wheels can be fixed too.
During a brake safety inspection, our mechanics scrutinize all fast-wearing parts, including brake pads, discs, and brake fluid. We carefully measure the brake pads and discs and compare these with the manufacturer's specifications. If the measurements do not meet the specifications, we will advise you of this and the estimated cost to fix the problem.
The brake fluid will also be checked to determine whether it needs replacement due to ageing or contamination. Brake fluid has a limited life.
Following a brake inspection, you will be provided with a detailed report on the condition of your brakes together with a quotation for any work that might be required.
Fix your brakes now now and PAY LATER with our interest free easy payment options. Choose from HUMM PAY or ZIP PAY or AFTERPAY options to pay for your repairs and servicing over a period best suited to you.
It’s important to have your brakes inspected regularly, so at every six month service we'll inspect your car's braking system to ensure your brakes are in tip top order, safe and reliable.

Like other parts of your car that go to work every day, your brakes are prone to wear out over time, especially your brake pads. Learn more about your car's brake pads so you can stay in-tune with their care and maintenance, plus head off any brake problems before your worn brakes decide to let you down.
Link to main Brakes Page.
What happens: When you press down on the brake pedal, you trigger a series of rapid events. As you step on the pedal, hydraulic fluid is displaced from the master cylinder plunger. This applies pressure to the calliper pistons, which then apply pressure to the brake pads, which puts pressure on the brake rotors. This brings your car to a stop.
If anything is "off" with your brake pads, you may feel it in your steering wheel. Brake pads that are old, worn, or particularly dirty cannot grip the rotor effectively and can cause your steering wheel to quiver and shake. This condition is dangerous, and it extends your braking distance, possibly causing a crash into the car ahead.
What to do: Calipers were built to last for a long time. Rotors and brake pads wear out. Thankfully, rotors can be resurfaced or replaced, and brake pads can easily be replaced too.
A thorough brake inspection at Highway Auto Brakes Rockhampton will reveal any problems. The findings will be explained to you in non-technical terms, along with advice on any action required and a quote if repairs are necessary.
Simply put, brake pads contact your rotors and cause friction to slow and stop your car. Brake pads are part of a very interconnected system, a system that relies on each of its parts to function safely and successfully. Here’s how your brake pads play their part:
Certain sounds and sensations can all signal potential brake pad problems. Stay alert and pay attention to:
General wisdom says to have your brakes (including your brake pads) inspected every 6 months or 10,000km, but your manufacturer guidelines may give you better guidance for your specific vehicle.
If you’re hearing grinding, squeaking, or squealing, your steering wheel feels shaky, or your brake warning light is on, drop in to Highway Auto Brakes Rockhampton today and we'll check it out for you.
During your free brake inspection, we’ll measure your brake pad wear, check brake fluid levels, and let you know if your brakes need further service. Our brake technicians are ready to answer your brake questions and give you a better idea of how much “life” is left in your car’s brake pads.

How Brake Pads Work and When They Should be Replaced.
What happens: When you press down on the brake pedal, you trigger a series of rapid events. As you step on the pedal, hydraulic fluid is displaced from the master cylinder plunger.

About modern day brake pads and how they work?
Simply put, brake pads contact your rotors and cause friction to slow and stop your car. Brake pads are part of a very interconnected system, a system that relies on each of its parts to function safely and successfully. Here’s how your brake pads play their part:
- When you press down on the brake pedal, you activate a cylinder that sends brake fluid through hoses, down to the calipers.
- The calipers engage your brake pads.
- Your brake pads apply pressure to the rotor, which is directly connected to each wheel.
- This pressure creates the friction needed to slow or stop your vehicle. When the rotor slows, so do your wheels.
- Take your foot off the brake pedal and the entire process reverses: the brake pads release, fluid moves back up the hoses, and your wheels are on the move again!
Brake pad failure symptoms you should watch out for.
Certain sounds and sensations can all signal potential brake pad problems. Stay alert and pay attention to:
- Screaming or grinding: Any noise that could be labelled as "eardrum piercing" could mean it's time to have your brake pads inspected. Worn pads could cause damage to other parts of the system and lead to major and often more expensive repairs.
- Shaking in your steering wheel or brake pedal: When worn brake pads turn into worn out brake pads, it can lead to rotor damage from all the metal-on-metal rubbing. Shivers and shakes in the steering wheel or brake pedal are more than just unpleasant. Your braking system is trying to communicate with you!
- Brake warning light: This dashboard indicator light could come on for several reasons, none of which you want to ignore. The light could clue you into a problem with the brake's hydraulic system, your brake fluid level could be low, or your parking brake may be engaged. Whatever the reason for the light, your ability to safely come to a stop isn't worth risking.
How often should your brake pads be inspected?
General wisdom says to have your brakes (including your brake pads) inspected every 6 months or 10,000km, but your manufacturer guidelines may give you better guidance for your specific vehicle.
