Where Can I Get Brakes Done In Melbourne?

[ian]

I've been reading the brake pad thread (ie http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Br...s-t169972.html) and really need new pads..

Does anyone know somewhere in Melbourne that is not going to stuff me around eg telling me the disks need machining even if they don't (but will if they really do!) etc? I'm a bit worried about going to a random Brakes Plus...

Well you should always machine your discs when you change your pads anyway.

Pads are easy to do, machining on the other hand will need to be done by a brakes shop.

Race Brakes - they are in Yarraville - Google them.

I have only had great experiences with them - they have always been honest and upfront.

Also you dont always have to machine the rotors when you change pads, only if they require it.

My 2 cents.

Daniel @ DJM in Burwood East will treat you right.

-50 for Race Brakes

Can't be assed and didn't really seem to give 2 sh*ts about my car. Chipped my rim to when putting the centre caps back on.

Didn't even attempt to diagnose my brake issues and the guru's answer to was to put these 11ty billion $ Endless brake pads on ($400 or $600 a pair of pads, something ridiculous). Stay away

Lol i was about to call Race brakes and then read the above post.

Anyone want to recommend a place in the West

everyone has their bad days, i dunno. That was just my experience, it wasn't a nice one, it was a fairly sh*thouse one thinking this place was meant to be the bee's knee's...

oh, and to top it all off, Race Brakes had a deal going with SAU Vic, so here i am, paid member of the club of which Race Brakes has kindly offered to give discounts, and basically treated like a tyre kicker. I'm not expecting VIP treatment, but seriously, should at least look after club members if you've bothered to be a supporter anyway

I've had good experiences with both Traction tyres and Race Brakes. I'd use them both again for sure.
