New or persistent brake noise needs investigation. Describe when it happens; a noise alone does not identify which part needs replacement.
Tell the workshop if the pedal, steering wheel or vehicle vibrates during braking. An inspection helps establish the cause.
A soft pedal, reduced braking response or brake warning light requires prompt attention. Describe the exact warning and any change in braking.
If braking is impaired, stop somewhere safe and arrange roadside assistance or towing. Do not continue driving to a booked appointment. If you are unsure whether the vehicle is safe to drive, contact your roadside assistance provider before moving it.
Read RACV's guidance on brake warning signs and brake failure.
Brake pad replacement and brake disc replacement are different jobs. Pads provide the friction material that acts against the discs, also called rotors. Their condition needs to be assessed together when planning work.
Discs have specified minimum thickness limits. New pads do not make an excessively worn disc serviceable. The workshop can explain the findings and proposed parts before you agree to the repair.
Confirm availability for your model and required work when booking, particularly for electronic parking brake, ABS or other specialist system faults.
Choose Clyde North or Berwick, provide your vehicle details and explain what you have noticed. Confirm availability and any inspection charges.

Not automatically. Disc thickness and condition must be checked against the relevant specifications. Worn or damaged discs may need replacement even when new pads are being fitted.
There is no single kilometre interval that suits every vehicle. Wear varies with driving conditions, use and the fitted components. Follow your vehicle's maintenance schedule and have new symptoms checked between services.

Timing depends on the inspection findings, parts availability and workshop bookings. Confirm an estimated completion time before authorising the repair.
