In-House Reconditioning & Bonding

Quality brake components are built to be reconditioned, and at Knights Brake Specialists in Cairns, brake reconditioning and bonding has been a core part of what we do since 1973. Rather than throw parts away, our in-house workshop machines, rebuilds and re-bonds brake components to bring them back to factory specification, often at a fraction of the cost of new. That's why workshops, fleet operators and machinery owners across North Queensland send their hard-to-find brake work to us. Reconditioning works hand in hand with routine brake servicing. We also stock a huge range of parts to support every job. Call (07) 4051 3166 to discuss your reconditioning job.
