    Brake specialist in melbourne

    Hey guys I'm looking for a brakes specialists within the south eastern area but wouldn't mind traveling further for a highly regarded one. If you guys know any places who won't charge an insane price or tell me that there's a problem here or there or any bogusness. I just want someone to do the job straight up without hassle.

    The problem is I'm trying to remove the squealing noise coming from the brakes. I had my car serviced recently and they have machined the disc or rotors (one of those, not sure). Confusing enough after the service, the squealing only comes on after 20-30 minutes of driving. So when I start to drive the car it is fine and has no noise at all. Once it hits the 30 minute mark it starts to squeal every time I brake. So basically if I stop driving for a bit it would rinse and repeat. The squeling noise happens when braking towards a red light or just slowing down at low or high speeds but when braking really really hard it's dead silent. Prior to the service the situation was different, it will squeal every time especially in colder weather and after driving the noise would lessen a bit as it warms up.

    They said the brake pads are still quite thick and does not need to be changed.

    By the way, I'd prefer to go to a brakes specialist over a dealer or general mechanic.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what the brakes I'm using, I assume it's factory. I bought my 06' lux euro about a year and a half ago. To be honest I have no clue whats there and whats not.

    What are you like on the brakes? Do you use a small amount of pressure over a long distance or a large amount of pressure over a small distance?

    There are a few factors involved with brake squeal. It can be pad compound, rotor temps, rotor surface, how the brakes were rebedded after rotor machining.

    I am more than happy to inspect if you want

    Hey stndrd, I'm the type that would brake over a long distant or with medium pressure.
    I'll be happy for you to inspect the car.

    maybe the clips are causing a squeel

    Needs some shims between the brake pad and the caliper/piston. If there are no shims, then apply anti-sieze liberally on the back of the pad or you could also use that red anti squeal compound which creates layer that allows slight movement between the pad and the caliper/piston.
