Mackay Brake Services
Have you ever noticed a strange noise, uneven braking, or a rougher ride than usual? These symptoms often point to issues with your drivetrain, brakes, or suspension, which are critical to your vehicle’s performance and safety.
At Land Rover Spares in Mackay, we specialise in diagnosing, repairing, and upgrading these components across Land Rovers and European vehicles. Whether it's a Defender with worn-out shocks or a BMW with braking issues, we take a precise, model-specific approach to fixing the problem.
From transfer case repairs to suspension tuning, our team has the tools and technical knowledge to handle everything from standard maintenance to off-road and performance upgrades. If you feel every bump in the road or hear unusual noises when accelerating or braking, don't wait until it becomes a bigger problem.
Call our workshop today at 07 4957 5854. We’ll inspect, advise, and get you back on the road.
Precision Handling Starts Here
Land Rovers and European cars are known for their smooth rides and sure-footed handling, but even premium systems wear out over time. Whether it’s worn brake pads, a faulty differential, or a sagging suspension, minor problems can quickly affect your control, safety, and comfort. Left unchecked, they can lead to more expensive repairs.
Our service covers the diagnosis, repair, and upgrades of driveline systems (differentials, transfer cases, and CV joints), brake components (pads, rotors, ABS sensors), and suspension setups, including coil and air suspension systems. We'll get to the root of the problem.
We also offer performance and off-road upgrades for those looking to push their vehicles further, including heavy-duty shocks, brake kits and custom setups tailored for Australian conditions.
Our goal is always to restore or enhance your vehicle’s responsiveness, stability, and ride quality, whether driving in the city, touring the outback, or hitting the tracks every weekend.
Trusted Repair Solutions
We ensure your vehicle remains safe, responsive, and roadworthy. From diagnosing noisy differentials to replacing worn brake pads or fixing sagging suspension, we use quality parts and proven techniques. Whether you're driving a Land Rover or European vehicle, our repairs restore performance and handling. You stay in control, no matter the terrain or driving conditions.
Upgrades You Can Count On
We offer performance brake kits, heavy-duty shocks, lift kits, and driveline enhancements tailored to Land Rover and European models. Whether you're after better stopping power, improved ground clearance, or smoother handling, our upgrades are professionally installed and tuned to suit your driving style and conditions, helping you get the most from every journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should brakes be serviced or replaced?
Most vehicles need new brake pads every 30,000–70,000 km. Warning signs include squealing noises, longer stopping distances, or a soft brake pedal. To ensure proper function, European vehicles with electronic braking systems or performance setups may require specialised servicing tools and genuine components.
What’s the difference between coil and air suspension?
Coil suspension uses steel springs to absorb bumps and is known for durability and simplicity. Air suspension uses pressurised air chambers, allowing for an adjustable ride height and a smoother, more customisable ride. While air suspension offers comfort and versatility, it’s more complex and can be prone to leaks or compressor failure over time, requiring specialist diagnostics.
Can I upgrade my suspension or brakes for off-road use?
Absolutely. Upgrades like heavy-duty shocks, lift kits, sway bar links, and ventilated brake kits can significantly improve your vehicle’s off-road performance and safety. These modifications provide better ground clearance, handling, and braking under extreme conditions. It is essential to choose components compatible with your vehicle and ensure installation meets legal and safety standards.
