NEXT BEASTIE PROJECT...

This is what happens when rear drum brakes are left for too long.

Originally handbrake was not engaging properly. This is what the team found....

- Severely worn brake shoes
- Damaged hardware
- Years of built-up rust and contamination.

Not only does this reduce braking performance, but it can also become a serious safety issue.

Rear drum brakes are often "out of sight, out of mind," but they're a critical part of your vehicle's braking system. Regular servicing can prevent expensive repairs and help keep you and your family safe on the road.

This one is getting the full treatment with a complete rear brake rebuild. 💪

If it's been a while since your brakes were checked, now's the time.

Beastie work. Quality results.

Not every brake job is as simple as changing a set of pads.

This old beast came into the workshop needing a complete rear drum brake rebuild.

Over time, brake shoes, springs, adjusters and wheel cylinders wear out, reducing braking performance and reliability. A proper rebuild restores the system so it's working the way it was designed to.

✅ New brake shoes
✅ New hardware and springs
✅ Components cleaned and inspected
✅ Brakes adjusted correctly
✅ Thoroughly tested before returning to the road

Whether your vehicle is brand new or decades old, the most important safety feature it has is its brakes.

We love keeping these older classics safely on the road for many more kilometres to come. 🔧🚗

Here we go! Carpark repair works in action

💧 Not Every Leak Leaves a Puddle…
This VW came in with a coolant leak that wasn't immediately obvious. After further diagnosis and component removal, the culprit was found hiding deep within the cooling system.

🔧 Failed coolant housing assembly removed
🔧 New updated component fitted
🔧 Cooling system reassembled and pressure tested
🔧 Leak resolved and ready to hit the road again

These plastic cooling components work hard every day and, over time, can become brittle, crack, or fail without much warning. Catching them early can save you from an overheated engine and a much bigger repair bill.
