Brake inspection & repair by Toyota & Lexus specialists

Your vehicle’s braking system relies on high-quality hydraulic brake fluid to operate safely and effectively. Toyota and Lexus models use DOT4 & DOT5 grade fluid, which must be replaced regularly to prevent moisture build-up and reduced braking efficiency.

Every 2 years or 20,000 miles

• Complete fluid replacement using the correct DOT4 specification
• Inspection of brake pipes, hoses and fittings for leaks or corrosion
• Disposal of old fluid in line with environmental standards

Some Toyota and Lexus models use drum brakes on the rear axle, which require periodic inspection and adjustment. Keeping them correctly set helps maintain smooth operation, balanced braking, and consistent MOT test results.

• Removal and inspection of drums, shoes and hydraulics
• Cleaning and lubrication of mechanical components
• Replacement of worn shoes or leaking wheel cylinders
• Reassembly and operational test

Your parking brake (or handbrake) is vital for vehicle stability when parked and during MOT testing. Whether mechanical or electronic, correct adjustment ensures proper hold and balance on both sides.

• Full inspection of cables, levers or actuators
• Adjustment of travel and tension
• Brake test machine check for efficiency and balance
• Diagnostic check for electronic systems (if fitted)

We check your brake pads and discs at every opportunity - measuring their thickness and condition against manufacturer standards to determine when replacement is needed. Worn components can affect braking efficiency, noise, and safety, so timely replacement matters.

• Measurement of pad lining and disc thickness
• Replacement with genuine or OEM-quality parts (if required)
• Inspection for disc warping, overheating, or uneven wear
• Professional fitting with new hardware where required
• Brake efficiency test post-installation
• Replacement of pads whenever new discs are fitted to ensure correct bedding-in and optimal performance
