Back in the early 1970s, Keith McKenzie realised there was a market for commercial vehicle exchange brake shoes.
So, with a counter balance riveter, hammer and punch he started offering the service. Over the next 30 years this area of the business grew.
With the introduction of Brake Pads in more modern times, the need for the exchange service reduced, yet still today we remain the only place in the North that can reline brake shoes while you wait!
Our workshop facility today is a long way removed from those early days.
We have pneumatic machines for riveting and de-riveting. We have a sandblaster with dust extraction and a waste corner to dispose of old material. The personnel involved are audited twice a year and the equipment we use is calibrated regularly.
We are a Ferodo approved Brake Reline Centre and can outsource any brake shoes, pads, or bands that may require bonding.
