My Vehicle Maintenance provides comprehensive brake services in Masterton, from routine pad and rotor replacements to complete brake system overhauls. We work on all makes and models and always use quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. If you've noticed squealing, grinding, a soft pedal, or your vehicle pulling to one side under braking, book in for a brake inspection.

Brake Service FAQs

How do I know if my brakes need replacing?

Common signs include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, the vehicle pulling to one side, or vibration through the steering wheel when you brake. If you notice any of these, book in for a brake inspection with us.

How long do brake pads last?

Brake pad life varies depending on your driving style, vehicle, and conditions. Typically pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 kilometres. Town driving with frequent stopping wears pads faster than highway cruising.

Can you machine my brake discs instead of replacing them?

In many cases yes. If your discs are above the minimum thickness and don't have deep scoring or cracks, machining is a cost-effective option. We'll measure them and recommend the best approach.

Do you work on ABS and electronic braking systems?

Yes. We have diagnostic equipment to work on ABS, electronic stability control, and electric park brake systems across all major makes and models.
