Your brakes are the most important safety system on your vehicle.

At Mann Tyres, our experienced mechanics inspect, repair and replace brake components on cars, SUVs, utes, vans and trucks across Papatoetoe, Auckland and surrounding areas.
If your brakes are squealing, feeling soft or failing your WoF, we’ll find the problem and fix it properly.

Why Brake Fluid Matters
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance and can cause internal corrosion. We recommend replacing it every two years or as per your manufacturer’s service schedule. It’s a quick service that helps keep your braking system reliable and extends the life of expensive components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brake FAQs
How often should my brakes be checked?
We recommend a brake inspection at least once a year, or every 10,000 to 15,000 km, and straight away if you notice any warning signs.
How long do brake pads last?
It depends on your vehicle, driving style and conditions. Most pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 km. Towing, hilly roads and city driving wear them faster.
Can worn brakes cause a WoF failure?
Yes. Worn pads, damaged discs, leaking fluid and poor handbrake performance are common WoF failure points.
Should I replace brake pads and discs together?
Not always. We’ll inspect your discs and only recommend replacement if they’re worn, warped or below minimum thickness.
How much does a brake repair cost?
It depends on your vehicle and which parts need work. Contact us for a quick, no-obligation quote.
