Screeching, grinding or spongy brakes are your car’s way of telling you something’s wrong — and when it comes to braking systems, there’s no time to ignore it.

At Wayne’s Mechanical World in Hervey Bay, our qualified mechanics can carry out a detailed brake replacement, repair, or inspection to keep your vehicle safe, smooth and responsive.
Whether you’re noticing a soft pedal, longer stopping distances or uneven braking, we’ll get to the bottom of the issue fast. We also offer brake component machining and full system overhauls, all using quality parts to ensure lasting results.
If your brakes aren’t performing like they should, book a safety check today by calling (07) 4124 3916 — it’s better to act early than pay for it later.
Clutch Repairs For Smooth Shifting
While your brakes keep you safe, your clutch ensures you stay in control. A worn or slipping clutch won’t just affect your driving — it can damage the gearbox if left unchecked. If you're hearing grinding when shifting, or struggling to engage gears smoothly, it could be time for a clutch service.
At Wayne’s Mechanical World, we inspect, repair and replace clutch systems using trusted parts suited to your vehicle. We consider factors like your driving habits, terrain and vehicle type to offer the most appropriate solution — whether that’s a minor adjustment or a full clutch replacement. No guesswork. No unnecessary upselling. Just honest advice and mechanical work you can rely on.

Why are my brakes squealing?
Squealing brakes are often caused by worn brake pads or a build-up of debris between the pad and rotor. While the car may still stop, the noise is usually a sign that the pads are nearing the end of their life — or that the wear indicators are doing their job. Ignoring the noise can lead to metal-on-metal contact, which damages the rotors and leads to more expensive repairs. It’s best to get the system inspected early, even if braking still feels normal.
What are the signs of a worn clutch?
Common signs of a worn clutch include slipping when accelerating, difficulty shifting gears, a burning smell, or a grinding noise when engaging the clutch. In some cases, especially in older vehicles, the clutch cable or pedal linkage may just need adjusting. However, if the clutch plate or pressure plate is worn, a full replacement is usually required. Early inspection can help determine whether a minor adjustment will do the trick or if replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option.
Do brake and clutch systems need to be serviced regularly?
Yes. Brake fluid, like engine oil, degrades over time and can absorb moisture — which reduces braking performance and increases corrosion risk in the system. Similarly, clutches don’t always show symptoms until they’re close to failure, particularly in stop-start driving conditions or hilly terrain. Having these systems checked during regular servicing helps catch wear early, extends component life, and ensures you're not caught off guard by sudden issues.
