Brake inspection, diagnosis and repairs for cars, 4WDs, utes, light commercials, trucks, trailers, caravans and fleet vehicles.
Total Mobile Mechanical Services supports customers throughout Gladstone, Calliope and surrounding Central Queensland areas.
Brake noise, vibration or poor pedal feel can have several causes. We inspect the system before recommending which components need repair or replacement.
Car and 4WD Brake Repairs
Our car and 4WD brake services include:

Brake pads are only one part of the system. Rotor condition, caliper operation, hydraulic performance and tyre contact can all affect braking behaviour.
ABS and Electronic Brake Diagnosis
ABS, traction-control and stability-control warnings may involve wheel-speed sensors, wiring, tone rings, hydraulic components, control modules or other connected vehicle systems.
Diagnosis may include:

- Connector and earth inspection
- Hydraulic and mechanical brake inspection
Electrical testing is supported by our auto electrical and vehicle diagnostic service.

Signs Your Brakes Need Inspection
- Squealing, scraping or grinding noises
- Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel
- The vehicle pulling under braking
- A soft, low or unusually hard brake pedal
- Brake, ABS or stability-control warning lights
- Reduced braking response
- Air leaks or pressure concerns on heavy vehicles
- Electric trailer brakes operating unevenly
If braking performance changes significantly, avoid continuing to drive the vehicle until the risk has been assessed.
Workshop and Suitable Mobile Brake Support
Workshop facilities are used for repairs requiring lifting, measurement, controlled testing or component replacement.
Mobile assistance may be available for inspection, diagnosis and suitable repairs where the vehicle can be worked on safely at its location.
