Your brakes and steering are your first line of defense on the road, protecting you from potential obstacles and accidents. When it comes to avoiding motor vehicle collisions, having every component of your braking system in pristine condition gives you the best chance of success. At R.H. Adam & Sons, we understand the importance of a well-maintained braking system, and during a major service, our professional service center inspects each element to ensure it’s performing at its best.
Today’s vehicles come equipped with either disc and pad braking systems or a combination of disc and pad (front) and drum and shoe (rear). When you press your brake pedal in an emergency, a complex sequence of actions is set in motion. The force travels through the hydraulic system to the brake calipers, which then initiate the mechanical braking. The mechanical braking action occurs as brake shoes clamp against the disc or press against the drum.
Brake Inspection: We conduct a thorough inspection of your braking system, including the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines. Our diagnostics help identify any issues that require attention.
Brake Pad Replacement: Worn-out brake pads are a common issue. We can replace them with high-quality pads to ensure optimal stopping power.
Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement: If your brake rotors are damaged or show signs of wear, we can either resurface them or replace them with new, high-quality rotors.
Caliper Service: We address caliper issues, including stuck or leaking calipers, to ensure even brake pad wear and optimal performance.
Brake Fluid Flush: Regularly flushing and replacing brake fluid is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of your brakes.
Skilled Technicians: Our experienced technicians are well-versed in brake systems for all types of vehicles, from cars and Utes to vans and heavy trucks.
Quality Parts: We use high-quality, genuine parts to ensure your vehicle’s braking system operates at its best.
Preventive Maintenance: In addition to repairs, we offer preventive maintenance to address potential issues before they become major problems.
Transparency: We maintain detailed records of all brake repairs and provide you with clear documentation for your vehicle’s maintenance history.
Our experts inspect the hydraulics and braking action to confirm that your brakes are in optimal working condition. Additionally, a close examination of the disc or drum is performed to ensure these components remain within serviceable limits. This inspection reveals any irregularities on the surfaces that could lead to unusual brake wear or hinder brake performance. Brake shoes and brake pads are also thoroughly assessed for signs of wear and tear, and they are replaced before reaching their operational limits.
At R.H. Adam & Sons, brake service is a standard offering during all major services. We provide brake pad and disc replacements, or brake shoe and drum replacements as needed. If your brake discs and drums are still within serviceable limits, we also offer skimming services to extend their lifespan. For motoring enthusiasts and owners of high-performance vehicles, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced braking solutions.
If you’re experiencing steering wheel shakes, it’s likely a front rotor issue. Brake vibrations felt through the pedal or the vehicle’s bodywork indicate a rear brake rotor concern. At R.H. Adam & Sons, we offer on-site disc machining services for all vehicle makes and models. Our technicians will assess your discs and drums, informing you if machining is necessary.
Your safety is paramount to us, and we’re committed to delivering top-notch brake servicing to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Contact us to schedule your brake service, and drive with confidence knowing your brakes are in expert hands.”
