Repairs & Disc Machining
At Peter Mac’s Mechanical, we specialise in brake and clutch maintenance. Our team can refurbish discs and drums in order to restore their optimal function using the latest pro-cut equipment.
We know exactly when a clutch needs fluid replacement. We replace hydraulic clutch fluid to prevent all clutch-related issues. Our team recommends changing the fluid, including the brake fluid, every 20,000 kilometres, or every two years.
For vehicles equipped with a cable-activated clutch, we can perform clutch inspections and adjustments to keep each component in full working order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do brake pads last?
Generally, brake pads last between 15,000 and 70,000 kilometres. However, some brakes can become worn prematurely due to a number of reasons such as frequent usage.
How often should I adjust a cable clutch?
Worn cable clutches require adjustments. The frequency of adjustments is often done every 10,000km or may depend on the manufacturer’s recommendations. You also have to consider the type of vehicle you drive.
Should I have my brake discs machined or replaced?
Choosing between a brake disc machining and replacement will depend on factors such as the amount of wear on the discs and the type of vehicle you are using. If a brake disc reaches the minimum thickness rating a manufacturer requires, it usually requires replacing. A reliable mechanic will provide recommendations after a thorough inspection.
