Brake diagnostics
Our comprehensive brake diagnostics service identifies issues through electronic scans, visual inspections, and test drives. Technicians check pad wear, disc condition, and fluid levels while explaining findings in plain language. We provide written summaries with recommended actions.
Brake pad replacement
We replace worn brake pads using manufacturer-approved parts, ensuring proper fit and function. The process includes caliper lubrication and wear pattern analysis to prevent premature failure. Customers receive old parts for inspection.
Brake disc fitting
Warped or scored discs are replaced with quality components, matched to vehicle specifications. The service includes hub cleaning, sensor checks, and bedding-in procedures for optimal performance.
ABS system check
Specialised equipment scans anti-lock braking systems for fault codes. Technicians verify sensor functionality and hydraulic component operation, providing clear explanations of any required repairs.
Emergency brake repair
Critical brake issues receive priority handling, with same-day appointments available. Repairs follow strict safety protocols while maintaining transparent pricing and documentation.
Questions
How do I know if my brakes need servicing?
Watch for grinding noises, spongy pedals, pulling to one side, or warning lights. These signs indicate potential brake issues requiring professional inspection.
Why do my brakes squeak?
Squeaking usually indicates worn pads or dust accumulation. Ignoring this can lead to metal-on-metal contact, causing disc damage and reduced braking efficiency.
How much does brake repair cost?
Basic pad replacement starts at £60 per axle, while full system work may reach £300+. We provide written quotes before any repair begins.
How often should brakes be checked?
We recommend inspections every 10,000 miles or immediately if you notice unusual noises, vibrations, or reduced stopping performance.
Can I drive with noisy brakes?
While possible short-term, continuing to drive with brake noises risks safety and may lead to more expensive repairs. We advise immediate professional assessment.
Do I need to replace pads and discs together?
Not always, but replacing both ensures optimal performance when discs show wear. Technicians assess each case individually during inspection.
