Brake & Clutch SErvices
Safe stopping and smooth gear changes are essential for every driver. At Langes Auto Centre Queanbeyan, we specialise in brake and clutch inspections, replacements, and maintenance to keep your vehicle safe and reliable.
If your brakes are squealing, vibrating, or taking longer to stop, it’s often time to replace your brake pads or discs.

How often should brakes be replaced?
Brake pads usually need replacing every 30,000–70,000 km, depending on driving habits and road conditions. Discs (rotors) often last longer but may also need replacement if worn or damaged.
What are the signs my brakes need replacing?
Look out for squealing or grinding noises, vibrations through the pedal, pulling to one side, or longer stopping distances.
Do you machine (resurface) brake discs?
Yes. If discs are still within safe limits, we can resurface them to extend their life before a full replacement is required.

Slipping when accelerating, a burning smell, difficulty engaging gears, or a clutch pedal that feels soft or heavy are common signs it’s time for a replacement.
