Brake safety check
Not sure what your vehicle needs? We can inspect the braking system and advise before repair.
Grinding brakes should not be ignored.
Worn brake pads can quickly damage your brake discs, turning a straightforward pad replacement into a more expensive repair. If your brakes are noisy, juddering or taking longer to stop, get them checked.

Comprehensive brake inspection
For complete peace of mind, we offer a full brake inspection for £72. We remove the wheels and carry out a deeper check of the brake pads, discs, calipers, brake lines and visible braking components.
This is ideal if you have brake noise, brake warning lights, poor braking performance or you simply want the vehicle checked before a longer journey.

Front Brake Pads
Most common wear pointFront brakes do most of the stopping work, so they usually wear faster than the rear. We can strip, clean and replace the front brake pads with quality parts.

Common questions about brake pads
How do I know if my car needs new brake pads?
Common signs include squealing, grinding, dashboard brake warnings, vibration when braking, a spongy brake pedal, the car pulling to one side, or the vehicle taking longer to stop.
How long does it take to change brake pads?
Replacing front or rear brake pads usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour. Pads and discs usually take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the vehicle.
Should I replace all 4 brake pads at once?
Not always. However, brake pads must be replaced in axle pairs, meaning both front wheels or both rear wheels together. This keeps the braking balanced and safe.
Can I drive with grinding brakes?
It is not recommended. Grinding usually means the pads are badly worn and may be damaging the discs. The longer you leave it, the more expensive the repair can become.
