Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement

Regular brake pad and rotor replacement is crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s braking efficiency and safety. Over time, brake pads wear down, and rotors can become damaged or warped, compromising your car's ability to stop effectively. Our expert mechanics replace worn brake pads and inspect or replace rotors as needed to ensure smooth and responsive braking. Trust us to keep your braking system in top condition, providing you with the safety and performance you rely on every day.

Signs You Need Brake Pad and Rotor Replacement

It’s important to recognise when your brakes need attention to avoid safety risks. Look out for these warning signs:

  • Squeaking or Grinding Noises: Worn brake pads can make noise when they’re too thin, indicating it’s time for a replacement.

  • Vibration or Pulsation: If you feel vibrations or pulsations in the brake pedal when stopping, your rotors may be warped and need resurfacing or replacing.

  • Reduced Braking Performance: If you notice longer stopping distances or less responsive brakes, it could be a sign of worn pads or damaged rotors.

  • Visible Wear: Inspect your brake pads regularly for signs of wear. If they’re less than 3mm thick, it’s time for a replacement.

  • Warning Light: Some vehicles have brake system warning lights that indicate issues with the brake pads or rotors.

By addressing these signs early, you help maintain your vehicle’s safety and performance. Speak to Inner West Automotive today if you’re experiencing any of these issues.
