THE CAPE BRAKE Co.
BUILT ON FAMILY. BUILT TO LAST.
More than a workshop. A family business built on honest advice, quality workmanship and people who care.
OUR STORY
WHERE CBC BEGAN
The Cape Brake Company began with our dad.
By the time he started CBC, Dad was already battling end-stage cancer. He knew how seriously ill he was, but he still chose to build something of his own and lay the foundations for what would become our family business.
These photographs were taken during those early days, while CBC itself was still taking shape.
Dad didn't get the opportunity to see everything CBC would become. But what he started is still here, and it continues to grow.
Today, his children carry The Cape Brake Company forward, guided by the same simple principles that have shaped the business from the beginning: look after people, take pride in your work and do things properly.
THE EARLY DAYS OF CBC
CBC IS PART OF WHAT DAD LEFT US.
WHAT WE BUILD FROM IT IS PART OF WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND.

WHAT GUIDES US
THE CBC WAY
The business may have grown, but the way we approach our work remains simple. These are the principles behind how we look after vehicles, customers and each other.
01
ACCURACY
MATTERS
The right vehicle information, the right diagnosis and the right parts. Getting the details right from the start helps us give better advice and do better work.
02
HONEST
ADVICE
We will tell you what needs doing, what can wait and what isn't necessary. No unnecessary repairs and no work carried out without your approval.
03
QUALITY
WORKMANSHIP
We take pride in doing the job properly. That means quality workmanship, the right equipment and people who care about the standard of work leaving our workshop.
04
PEOPLE
FIRST
Clear communication, transparent pricing and treating customers like people, not job cards. We want you to understand your vehicle and feel confident in the decisions you make about it.
ACCURATE ADVICE. QUALITY WORK. PEOPLE FIRST.
