Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads are the most commonly replaced component in your braking system. They are designed to wear out over time as they make contact with the rotor as it is much cheaper and easier to replace the pads than to replace the rotors. We recommend having your brake pads inspected regularly and replaced when they are worn down to prevent any damage to the rotors and other critical vehicle components as well as keeping your braking system functioning effectively.

Flush And Replacement Of Brake Fluid

Your vehicle's brake fluid is crucial to maintaining optimal braking power. Over time, the fluid can become contaminated and break down, leading to brake failure. We recommend having your brake fluid replaced every two years, or when your brake fluid is discoloured or smells burnt.

Rotor And Drum/Brake Disc Machining or Resurfacing

The rotors and brake discs on your vehicle are also essential components of your braking system. Over time they can develop hot spots or become warped. Machining or resurfacing them can correct any imperfections, allowing your brake pads to function correctly and ensure your vehicle can stop quickly and safely.

Brake Disc And Drum Replacement

In some cases, the rotors or drums may become too thin and worn beyond repair. If this is the case, replacement of the rotors and drums may be necessary to restore your brakes to their original capacity.

Brake Caliper Replacement

Your vehicle's brake calipers apply pressure to the brake pads and force them onto the rotors to slow down or stop your vehicle. When your brake calipers become worn, they may no longer function effectively, leading to reduced braking power. Replacing the calipers will restore your vehicle's braking power and prevent further damage to your braking system.

Replacement Of Brake Hoses And Lines

Brake hoses and lines can deteriorate over time and become brittle. They may develop leaks, reducing the efficiency of your braking system. Replacement of the hoses and lines will restore proper function, preventing further damage to your braking system and ensuring maximum safety for your vehicle.

Complete Replacement Of Brake Systems

In extreme cases, your entire brake system may require replacement. This is a significant investment, but it is critical to maintaining your vehicle's safety and function. At Pride Autos & LPG we tend to find that ignoring the need to maintain the various brake components properly will eventually lead to damage to other critical components and may result in the need to completely replace the entire braking system, with the overall cost of the repair increasing accordingly.
