We specialize in brakes here at brake-fit and if you need your brake calipers replacing then you have come to the right place. We can supply and fit new or reconditioned brake calipers or if your brake calipers are not available or expensive to replace the whole unit then we can offer a rebuild of your existing brake calipers. We can supply and fit new pistons and seals. Most new cars have electronic handbrakes now and we can also replace or repair those as well.
Why do brake calipers need replacing?
If you feel your car or vehicle is holding back or dragging that could be a binding brake caliper
If you can smell a burning smell from your brakes or one of your brakes is getting hot you could have a binding brake caliper
Brake calipers can start to stick and bind due to corrosion to the brake caliper piston also if the seal that protects the piston is damaged or perished then water or dirt will get in there and cause damage to the piston and seal that will then start to make the brake caliper stick or seize. If one of your calipers is seized then you will have uneven braking and over time this will cause damage to other braking components. Handbrake mechanisms that are part of the brake calipers can also become defective and also cause brake binding to due to water and dirt getting into the mechanism.
We also can replace your brake hoses, make up new brake pipes to match your original brake pipes and carry out brake fluid flushes and changes. We can also replace electronic handbrake calipers
