East Coast Spares and Chatswood Brake & Clutch are one family business, started in Chatswood in 1980 and still family owned today. Over four decades on, it's run the same way: hands on, close to the customer, and honest about what your car actually needs.
Brake and clutch specialists since 1980
Bruce Connolly started the business in 1980 as brake and clutch specialists, and that’s still the heart of what we do, both in our parts range and at Chatswood Brake & Clutch, our service centre. Drivers across Sydney’s North Shore have trusted us for decades with their brakes and clutches, from brands like DBA, Exedy and Sachs. We know the fitment inside out, and we only stock what we’d trust on our own cars.
Run by Ben Connolly today
Today the business is run by Bruce's son, Ben. He's the person behind the counter, on the phone and answering your emails, so when you get in touch with East Coast Spares or Chatswood Brake & Clutch, you're talking to the owner. No call centre, no script, just a straight answer from someone who knows parts.
More than brakes and clutches
We've grown well beyond where we started. Our range now covers service parts, suspension and steering, car care, tools and electrical and lighting, with the same depth of knowledge behind every category. Whatever the job, professional or DIY, there's a good chance we've already got it covered.
Custom brakes and clutches for vintage and discontinued cars
When the original part is no longer made, that doesn't have to be the end of the road. At Chatswood Brake & Clutch, we can custom make brakes and clutches for vintage and discontinued vehicles, so classic cars and older models can stay on the road. If you've got a car that's hard to find parts for, talk to Ben about what's possible.
Built for the trip, not just the driveway
For 4WD and touring, we stock gear that needs to work properly a long way from home: recovery equipment, rooftop tents, portable fridges, power systems and touring accessories from brands like Baintech, Mean Mother, Roof Space and EvaKool.
Fitted and built at Chatswood Brake & Clutch
Buying the right part is only half the job. At Chatswood Brake & Clutch, our service centre, we offer fitting appointments for brakes, clutches, suspension and 4WD gear, and we build custom brake and clutch hoses to the exact length and fitting your car needs.
Family owned and trading since 1980, East Coast Spares stocks genuine parts from the brands mechanics actually trust - matched to your car, ready to fit.
Every decision comes back to getting you the right part, quickly and with proper consideration. That means stock that's genuinely available, a straight answer on fitment whenever you ask, and an honest call if something isn't right for the job. It's why we only stock brands we trust.
