Brake Service, Repairs & Pad Replacement in Perth
Brakes, tyres and suspension are the most critical safety items on your car, and brakes are our specialty. We’ve fitted thousands of brake pads and brake components over many years, and we’re proud to be an authorised ATE Brake Centre in Perth — an accreditation that isn’t easy to obtain.
ATE Germany manufactures the brake components fitted as original equipment to Volvo, BMW, Audi, Saab, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and most other European vehicles. As part of the Continental AG automotive group, ATE is a genuine OEM brake supplier — so when we fit ATE brakes to your car, you’re getting the quality the manufacturer intended.
Fed up with black brake dust all over your wheels? We can fit ATE ceramic brake pads to your vehicle. We’ve done the research for you, and we honestly believe ATE ceramic pads are the best available — cheap brakes simply don’t have the same performance or longevity.
Whether you need a full brake service, new pads and discs, a brake fluid flush or you’ve noticed a noise or shudder, we’ll inspect your brakes and give you honest advice. At some point, we all have to stop! Call (08) 9227 9944 to book your brake service in Perth.

// frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should brake pads be replaced?
It depends on your car, your brakes and how you drive, but many cars need front pads somewhere between 40,000km and 70,000km. The best approach is a regular brake inspection — which we include as part of servicing — so pads and discs are replaced before they become unsafe.
How much does brake pad replacement cost in Perth?
It varies by vehicle and whether discs or fluid also need doing. We’ll inspect your brakes and quote before any work begins. Call (08) 9227 9944 or book online for a price on your car.
What is an ATE Brake Centre?
ATE is a German OEM brake manufacturer (part of Continental AG) that supplies original-equipment brakes for Volvo, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW and more. Being an authorised ATE Brake Centre is an accreditation that isn’t easy to obtain — it means we’re approved to fit genuine ATE brake components.
Are ceramic brake pads worth it?
For most drivers, yes. ATE ceramic pads keep your wheels clean, are virtually noise-free, don’t shudder, last a long time and come with a 3-year/50,000km warranty. They cost a little more upfront but are very cost-effective over their life.
Why are my brakes squealing or grinding?
Squealing often means the pads are worn and need replacing; grinding usually means the pads are worn right down and the discs may be getting damaged. Either way, have it checked promptly — ignoring it makes the repair more expensive and less safe.
What causes brake shudder or vibration?
Brake shudder through the pedal or steering wheel is usually caused by warped or uneven discs. We diagnose the cause and fit quality ATE components that resist shudder, so braking feels smooth again.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend a brake fluid flush every 2 years, because brake fluid absorbs moisture over time which reduces braking performance. We check and replace brake fluid as part of servicing.
Do you do brakes on all makes?
Yes. While we specialise in European and Swedish cars, we service and repair brakes on most makes and models, and can fit ATE ceramic pads to most European vehicles.
