What We Do
Brake Repair at Fangio Auto
From a quick pad change to a full braking-system overhaul, we cover every part of your car's brakes.
Disc Skimming & Replacement
Warped or scored discs cause shudder and noise. We skim where it's safe or replace where it isn't.
Brake & Disc Service
Sticking or seized calipers and worn discs can cause uneven wear, noise or pulling. We service, rebuild or replace them as needed.
Brake Fluid Flush
Old fluid absorbs moisture and reduces stopping power. We bleed and replace it to the correct spec.
ABS & Warning Lights
We read ABS and brake fault codes to pinpoint sensor and module issues before they become a bigger problem.
Handbrake & Drum Brakes
Adjustment and repair of handbrake cables and rear drum systems on the models that still use them.
Warning Signs
When to Book a Check
Brakes warn you before they fail. If you notice any of these, book a check sooner rather than later.
Squealing, grinding or scraping when you brake
A soft, spongy or low brake pedal
Shuddering or vibration through the pedal or steering
The car pulling to one side under braking
A brake or ABS warning light on the dash
Longer stopping distances than usual

Got Questions?
Brake Repair - FAQs
How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?
Common signs are squealing or grinding noises, a longer stopping distance, vibration through the pedal, or a brake warning light. We can measure pad thickness during a brake check and tell you exactly where you stand.
Do you skim or replace brake discs?
Both. If a disc is within safe thickness limits we can skim it to remove warping and scoring. If it's too thin or badly damaged, we replace it. We'll always tell you which is the safer option for your car.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend a brake fluid flush every two years because the fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces braking performance. We check the condition and advise based on your vehicle.
Will a brake repair affect my service plan or warranty?
Brake work is routine maintenance. We use correct-spec parts and keep records. If your vehicle is under a plan or warranty, tell us before booking so we can confirm any conditions that apply.
Where are you based?
Two branches: Randburg (Johannesburg) and Hermanus (Overberg). Pick your nearest branch on our contact page.
