Why Brake Maintenance is Critical
Brakes wear gradually over time — and if left unchecked, they can compromise not only your stopping distance but your safety and that of others on the road. Regular brake servicing helps identify wear before it leads to complete failure or damage to more expensive components. Some signs your brakes may need attention:
- Squeaking, grinding, or screeching noises
- Vibration or pulsation when braking
- Spongy or unresponsive brake pedal
- Increased stopping distance
- Brake warning light on dashboard
- Car pulling to one side when braking
Our experienced mechanics are trained in all aspects of braking systems — from standard repairs to advanced diagnostics and performance tuning. We ensure every vehicle leaves our workshop with brakes that are responsive, balanced, and road-safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our focus is to listen to our clients, understand their needs and provide the exceptional level of Brake Repairs & Replacement services.
-
How do I know if my brakes need to be replaced?
Common signs your brakes may need replacing include squeaking or grinding noises, a spongy or soft brake pedal, vibration while braking, longer stopping distances, or a warning light on your dashboard. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your brakes inspected immediately to avoid safety risks and further damage.
-
How often should I get my brakes checked?
As a general rule, you should have your brakes inspected every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, or at every scheduled service. However, if you drive frequently in heavy traffic, tow loads, or live in hilly areas, your brakes may wear faster. Regular inspections help identify wear before it affects your safety or leads to more expensive repairs.
-
What is included in a brake service?
A standard brake service includes checking brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and brake lines. If needed, we replace worn components, clean brake assemblies, and test your braking performance. At Carline Automotive & Exhaust Cranbourne, we ensure your entire braking system is operating safely and efficiently before you leave our workshop.
-
Do you use genuine or aftermarket brake parts?
We offer both genuine and high-quality aftermarket brake parts, depending on your preference and budget. All parts we use meet or exceed manufacturer specifications to ensure safety, reliability, and performance. We’ll always discuss your options with you and help you choose the best solution for your vehicle.
-
Can you repair or machine brake rotors?
Yes, if your brake rotors are still within the manufacturer’s minimum thickness, we can machine them to restore a smooth, even braking surface. This is often a cost-effective alternative to replacement. If your rotors are too worn or damaged, we’ll recommend replacing them for optimal safety and braking performance.
