Free Brake Inspection & Service at HAE Brakes Rockhampton


Visit Highway Auto Brakes Rockhampton to get a free brake inspection, or call (07) 4926 1303. You get a shorter braking distance when your brakes are serviced.

Your car’s brakes have fast-wearing parts, and brake fluid has a limited life. So if you haven’t had a brake inspection lately, do it now and stay road accident-free.

How Far Do You Travel In The Space of One Second?

To be safe, you need to know your braking distance. For example, how long does it take to stop from the time your eyes transmit to your brain, your right foot, and then apply the brakes?

The time it takes to move your foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal and then for the hydraulic brake fluid to push the brake pads in contact with the brake disc rotors.

It’s not over yet. The tyres must get a good grip on the road surface, and the shock absorbers must prevent the wheel from skipping over the road surface.

If your tyres are off and your shock absorbers weak, there will be a considerable distance added to your brake stop capability.

Brake inspections should be included in your periodic vehicle service, but what if it is not? Unfortunately, statistics show that many vehicles do not get the required brake inspections and rarely get a brake test.

You can feel safe when you have your vehicle serviced at Highway Auto Brakes Rockhampton as we do the following inspections and tests to ensure you have a secure braking system and a safe, reliable vehicle, all with a lifetime quality guarantee.
 

Your brake test is comprehensive; we examines the following brake components:



  • Brake Pads

  • Brake Drums

  • Brake Callipers

  • Brake Disc Rotors

  • Brake Electronics

  • Park Brake

  • Tyre Grip

  • Brake Hoses

  • Brake Wheel Cylinders

  • Brake Master Cylinders

  • Brake Fluid Change

  • Wheel Bearings

  • Brake Fluid Leaks

  • Shock Absorbers

Brake failure causes car crash Your brake system consists of several different modules that can be repaired individually. This is why we don’t just give you a cost quote for a brake job over the phone or online. When you bring your car or 4X4 in we perform our systematic brake evaluation to determine if repairs are required if so exactly which brake repairs are necessary. We provide you with an estimate before starting any work, so you’re in control of your repair cost and know how much you are committed to spending.
 

Brake fault early warnings signals:


  • Noisy Brakes

  • Car Veers on Braking

  • Sticking Brake Pedal

  • Locking Brakes

  • Vibration (Steering wheel or vehicle)

  • Pulsating Brake pedal

  • Brake Warning Light

  • Hard Brake Pedal

  • Low Brake Pedal

  • Spongy Brake Pedal
