Comprehensive Brake Servicing
Brakes are the most important safety system on any vehicle, and at Knights Brake Specialists in Cairns, brake servicing is what we do day in, day out. Worn pads, scored rotors, leaking hoses or tired calipers all reduce stopping power and can turn into bigger, more expensive problems if left alone. We service brakes on cars, 4WDs, trucks, trailers and agricultural or industrial machinery. Every job starts with a proper brake assessment before any work begins. More involved repairs are handled on site through our in-house reconditioning and bonding service. We also carry a huge range of replacement parts in stock.

What's Included in a Brake Service
Brake servicing covers a broad range of inspection and repair tasks designed to keep your vehicle stopping safely and predictably. Here's what we look after most often:
Brake Assessment
: A full inspection of pads, shoes, rotors, drums, calipers, hoses and fluid, with a written report on any work required.Disc Rotor Machining
: In-house machining of disc rotors to restore a smooth, flat surface, eliminating vibration through the pedal and improving overall braking performance.Brake Caliper Overhauls
: Complete strip, clean and reconditioning of brake calipers, replacing seals and worn components to restore reliable, even braking pressure.Brake Hose Manufacturing
: Custom-manufactured brake hoses for automotive, industrial and agricultural applications, including older and unusual vehicles where off-the-shelf hoses aren't available.
Frequently Asked Questions
As a general rule, brakes should be inspected at every regular service or at least once a year. Any change in pedal feel, unusual noises, vibration when braking, or longer stopping distances is a sign a brake assessment should be booked straight away.
