Your brakes are one of the most critical safety systems in your car. At Midas Tyre & Auto Service, our qualified car mechanics specialise in keeping them performing at their best through expert inspections, repairs, and quality parts you can rely on. Whether you’re on the daily commute or heading interstate, you can trust Midas to make sure your vehicle stops safely, every time.
Why Brake Health Matters
Your car’s brakes are the most important safety system you have. Regular brake inspections and maintenance help prevent costly repairs and ensure your vehicle stops when it should. Over time, everyday driving, heat, and friction wear down key components like brake pads, rotors, and fluid. Neglecting them can lead to reduced performance, or worse, brake failure.
Signs You Might Need a Brake Repair
Noticed something off when you hit the brakes? It might be time for a check. Common warning signs include:
- Squealing or grinding noises when braking
- Longer stopping distances
- A spongy or hard brake pedal
- Pulling to one side when braking
- Vibrations or brake warning lights
If any of this sound familiar, don’t wait. A quick brake inspection at your local Midas can prevent minor wear from turning into a major repair.

Brake Service & Repair FAQs
How much does a brake repair cost in Australia?
It depends on your vehicle and the type of repair. A standard brake pad replacement might start around $150 – $250 per axle, while more complex repairs can cost more. At Midas, you’ll always get an upfront quote before any work begins.
How long should brake pads last?
Most brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 km, depending on driving habits, conditions, and vehicle type. If you drive in heavy traffic or tow often, your brakes may wear faster. Midas can check your pads and recommend the best timing for replacement.
Is it safe to drive with squeaky brakes?
Not really. Squeaking often means worn pads or dust build-up. Ignoring it can cause metal-on-metal damage that is noisy, costly, and unsafe. Book a Midas brake inspection as soon as you hear unusual sounds.
Can I drive with my brake warning light on?
No. A brake warning light signals a potential safety issue, such as low fluid or worn components. Driving with it on can be dangerous. Visit your local Midas workshop and we’ll diagnose the issue quickly.
How can I make my brakes last longer?
Drive smoothly, avoid sudden stops, and keep up with regular brake maintenance. Midas also checks brake fluid and pad wear during every service to help extend your brake life.
