Mobile Backing Plate Replacement Service at Your Home or Office

Your vehicle’s backing plates are vital to the braking system, providing support and stability for brake components. In drum brake systems, each wheel has two curved brake shoes mounted on the stationary backing plate. These shoes press against the drum to slow or stop the vehicle. A worn or damaged backing plate can reduce braking performance and compromise safety.

With My Mechanic Malaysia, there’s no need to visit a workshop. Our expert mobile mechanics come directly to your home, office, or preferred location with professional tools and knowledge to replace your backing plates safely and efficiently.
