An established local workshop — no chains, no call centres. Drop in or book ahead and talk to the person doing the work.
Quick turnaround
Most brake and clutch jobs are sorted the same day or next. We know you need the car back, so we don't sit on it.
Quotes with no surprises
We tell you what it needs, what it'll cost, and what can wait. You sign off before we start — every time.
What we do
Brake & clutch work, sorted properly
From a squeal at the lights to a clutch that's slipping on the hill, we handle the jobs that keep Richmond drivers safe and moving.
01
Brake Repairs
New pads, discs and rotors, calipers and lines. We fix the squeal, the shudder and the soft pedal so the car pulls up straight and sure.
02
Clutch Replacement
Slipping, juddering or heavy on the pedal? We replace clutch kits, flywheels and slave cylinders and get the bite point feeling right again.
03
Brake Fluid & Hydraulics
Fluid flushes, bleeds and master cylinder work. Old fluid kills braking — we refresh the system so the pedal stays firm and reliable.
04
Disc Machining
Warped or scored rotors machined back true on the lathe — often cheaper than replacing and a quick fix for that braking shudder.
05
WOF Inspections
Warrant of Fitness checks done while you wait. If something needs doing to pass, we'll show you and quote it before any work starts.
06
Brake & ABS Diagnostics
Warning light on? Handbrake not holding? We diagnose ABS faults, sensors and uneven wear and tell you straight what's going on.

About the workshop
The brake shop Richmond drivers actually trust
Richmond Brake & Clutch is a specialist workshop focused on the part of your car that matters most — the bit that stops it. Brakes and clutches are what we do day in, day out, so you get the experience that comes from doing the same job thousands of times over.
You'll deal with the people doing the work, get a clear explanation of what your car needs, and only pay for what it actually needs doing. That's how we've earned a 4.8-star rating from local drivers.
Great service, fast and easy and fairly priced. Super happy thank you. And Hunter is the perfect little mascot too.

After having brake pad problems on our tour of the South Island in our camper I was rapt that they were able to not only replace the pads but also machine the brake discs on site as well. I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and professional at a very fair price. Bryan Young, New Plymouth.
