Brake Specialist Recommendations

Hey guys,

Hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe new year!

Other than my 328i, I also have a VW Amarok as my daily driver. It's up for new rotors and pads having run them completely down after only 30,000km's

I'm looking to go aftermarket for better performance and durability so was wondering if anyone knows a brake specialist or centre that they'd like to recommend.

Thanks for the help!

The first person to talk to would be Stu at BMR. He's a regular on here and highly recommended. His shop is at Auburn and the number is 9648 3366.

Not sure if he handles Anaraks but I would certainly give him a yell.

Be safe.

30thou km.. ouch! Unfortunately VW's often aren't quiet as reliable and durable as many portray them to be..

I've used Prestige Tyre/Auto @ Marrickville for all my cars for some time now. Best work and service out there with good pricing for the level of work done. Very honest and give the best advice in regards what to do, particularly european cars.

Wow! I'm guessing I might be up for some new rotors at some point soon but I got 50,000km out of my first set of pads.

hey everyone. Happy new year. i completed 35k and up for a new set of pads/rotors as well. Anywhere in Melbourne to get this done. After a place that is reasonable and know their BMW's. Hoping to go slotted/drilled for the rotors, but direct replacements. Not the big brake kits
