Replace worn front or rear brake pads with new ones matched to your bike, restoring full stopping power and preventing disc damage.
Brake pads are a wear item by design — they're meant to gradually thin out so the harder, more expensive disc or drum doesn't take the wear instead. Once a pad crosses its minimum thickness, riding on it risks metal-on-metal contact, which can score or warp the disc and turn a routine, affordable pad swap into a much costlier disc replacement. This service replaces worn pads with new ones matched to your bike's make and model, and checks that the caliper and disc are in good condition before refitting.
30–45 minutes
When pad thickness reaches the manufacturer's minimum, typically every 8,000–15,000 km depending on riding style
Riders whose brake inspection has flagged worn pads, or anyone noticing reduced braking performance.
Worn brake pads are removed from the caliper or drum assembly.
The disc or drum surface is checked for scoring or damage before new pads are fitted.
New pads matched to your bike's make and model are installed.
Brakes are tested to confirm proper contact and stopping performance before handover.
If you're hearing squealing, grinding, or feeling reduced stopping power, replacement is likely needed. A brake inspection first is a good way to confirm before committing to a replacement.
Mechiee mechanics fit pads matched to your bike's make and model. If you have a brand preference, mention it when booking and your mechanic will confirm availability and pricing.
This varies with riding style and conditions, but typically 8,000–15,000 km. Frequent hard braking in heavy traffic wears pads faster than steady highway riding.
Yes — riding on pads worn past their minimum thickness reduces stopping power and risks damaging the disc or drum through metal-on-metal contact. It's not a service worth delaying.
Not necessarily — front and rear pads often wear at different rates. Your mechanic will inspect both and only recommend replacing what's actually worn.
Typically 30 to 45 minutes per axle, including the post-replacement test to confirm proper braking feel.
A thorough check of brake pads, discs or drums, fluid, and lever/pedal play to confirm your bike is stopping the way it should.
