Brakes, Steering & Suspension
Mechanical overhaul and repair of the systems that actually make an old car safe.
Engines get the attention, but it's the brakes, steering and suspension that keep a classic safe and enjoyable on the road. Age, storage and wear show up here first.
We inspect, repair and overhaul these systems with the care they deserve, using parts appropriate to the car and how you use it.
What We Cover
- Brake overhaul — discs, drums, shoes, pads, wheel cylinders, calipers and servos
- Brake pipes and flexible hoses renewed where age or corrosion demands it
- Hydraulic systems bled and checked, including clutch hydraulics
- Steering racks and boxes, joints, arms and alignment checks
- Suspension bushes, dampers, springs, ball joints and mountings
- Wheel bearing inspection and adjustment
- Road test and final checks after any work
