Get Brake Noises and Wear Checked
If you've noticed squealing, grinding or a different feel at the brake pedal, it's worth checking the cause. Our team at Motorhead Garage carries out brake repairs in Tweed Heads for cars, 4WDs and other light vehicles. These symptoms can point to different problems, so we inspect the system rather than guessing which part needs replacement.
Depending on its condition, repairs may involve pads, rotors, drums, hoses or other components. We'll explain the signs of wear and discuss the recommended work before proceeding. If braking feels noticeably weaker or a warning light appears, contact us before continuing to drive so we can assess the situation.
Tyre wear and handling changes can accompany brake concerns, which is why our suspension and steering repairs may be relevant. Call 0412 811 104 to arrange a brake inspection.

What We Look For in a Brake Inspection
Brake systems contain several connected components, and a useful inspection looks beyond the most obvious noise or warning sign. A squeal or vibration does not always point to one particular part, so we consider the whole system.
Brake pads.We check wear and look for signs that friction material needs replacement. Worn pads can affect braking response and other components.
Rotors and drums.We assess visible condition and signs of damage or excessive wear. Repair or replacement options depend on the findings.
Hoses and related parts.We inspect relevant components for deterioration or other concerns. Faults may affect how the braking system operates.
Changes in performance.We consider symptoms such as vibration, grinding or a different pedal feel. These observations help guide a more focused mechanical inspection.
