About Us
Thank you for visiting Wide Bay Brake Hose Service. We are brake and clutch hose specialists. Our passion when it comes to brakes is what’s kept us ahead of the curve for three decades. We are proud to be among Queensland’s top brake professionals.
In 1988, we opened our first business in Queensland – Ipswich Mobile Brakes. After eight great years at that location, we found ourselves drawn to beautiful Burrum Heads in the Hervey Bay coast region. Here, we became Fraser Coast Mobile Brake Service, and this is where we started our (and Australia’s) first mobile brake hose service. We’ve been building brake hoses ever since. Here’s the way it came about.
After years of servicing brakes, we discovered a problem that was costing our customers unnecessary time, inconvenience and money. Often, we’d be in the middle of a brake job only to find that a hose unexpectedly needed replacing. At this point we’d first have to order a new one or close up the system and have the customer leave with only a partial brake job done, returning days later so it could be complete. In some cases it could take even longer, when a specific hose was hard to find.
We took a look at our Brake Business and asked ourselves – couldn’t there also be a machine that makes hoses? And in 2000, we purchased our first Brakequip Mobile Hose Machine, which could make (and quality test) hoses right on the spot. Eventually, we sold our brake business to focus solely on the brake hoses & parts. Today we are Wide Bay Brake Hose Service. Contact us about your brake and clutch hose requirements, and any related brake system parts. We look forward to getting you what you need, when you need it. We have a major percentage of stock in our web site in stock.
