ADVANCED BRAKE & CLUTCH EXPERTISE FOR OPTIMAL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
BRAKING & CLUTCH SERVICE SPECIALISTS
Lamberts Brake & Clutch Ltd in Whangarei, NZ, has delivered specialised brake and clutch repair services across the Northland Region for generations, supporting drivers with reliable mechanical workmanship built on decades of industry experience. As a long-standing family-owned business, we combine technical capability with deep product knowledge across automotive, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and heavy transport braking systems.
PRECISION BRAKE REPAIRS DESIGNED FOR SAFETY, CONTROL & CONSISTENCY
Brake components endure constant pressure, heat, and friction. Over time, these conditions inevitably lead to wear, reduced stopping performance, and potential safety risks. Our team delivers high-accuracy brake repairs backed by testing, diagnostics, and a deep understanding of systems used across different vehicle types and industries.
We work with everyday passenger vehicles, utes, commercial fleets, heavy transport trucks, and specialised machinery. Every repair begins with a thorough assessment of braking components, hydraulic systems, and any signs of uneven wear or mechanical strain.
Our brake services include:
- Brake pad and shoe replacement
- Rotor and drum machining
- Hydraulic diagnostics and repair
- Brake fluid flushing
- System leak detection
- ABS system inspections
- Park brake adjustments and repair
- Trailer and light commercial brake servicing
Each repair is completed with measurable accuracy, ensuring predictable stopping power, reliability in emergency braking situations, and long-term performance.
EXPERT CLUTCH REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Clutch systems experience consistent movement, pressure, and heat, making them prone to wear. If your vehicle slips when accelerating, shudders when engaging the clutch, or struggles to change gears smoothly, it may be time for an inspection.
We work with clutches across passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, heavy trucks, and classic or specialised models. Whether the issue stems from worn components, hydraulic faults, heat glazing, or mechanical fatigue, our team provides accurate diagnosis and reliable repair solutions.
Our clutch services include:
- Complete clutch replacement
- Custom clutch cable manufacturing
- Hydraulic clutch system repairs
- Flywheel machining
- Pressure plate and bearing replacement
- Tailored solutions for performance and vintage vehicles
Our skilled technicians ensure each repair restores smooth engagement, consistent power transfer, and dependable drivability.
PRECISION MACHINING FOR ROTORS, DRUMS & FLYWHEELS
Machining is a critical part of proper brake and clutch servicing. Over time, rotors, drums, and flywheels can develop grooves, warping, and inconsistent surfaces that interfere with performance.
Our workshop is equipped for detailed machining across automotive, industrial, commercial, and agricultural components. Accurate machining ensures:
- Even contact surfaces
- Improved braking and clutch engagement
- Reduced vibration
- Longer component lifespan
We routinely machine components for cars, vans, trucks, trailers, machinery, and specialised equipment used across forestry, marine, industrial, and agricultural industries.
RELINING, BONDING & PROFILING SERVICES
Our team is highly skilled in relining and bonding friction materials for a wide variety of applications. From small automotive components to large industrial machinery, we ensure each component is rebuilt accurately and safely.
We support:
- Heavy machinery
- Agricultural equipment
- Industrial plant machinery
