Brake Component Inspection

Signs Your Brakes Need Attention

Squealing or Grinding: High-pitched squealing or metal-on-metal grinding sounds indicate worn brake pads that need immediate replacement to prevent disc damage.

Increased Stopping Distance: If your vehicle takes longer to stop or requires more pressure on the brake pedal, this indicates worn brake components that need inspection.

Vibration or Pulsing: Vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking often indicates warped brake discs that require replacement or machining.

Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, this could indicate uneven brake wear, stuck calipers, or brake fluid contamination.

Brake Maintenance Tips

Proper brake maintenance can extend component life and ensure optimal safety. Here are our expert recommendations for maintaining your vehicle's braking system:

  • Regular inspections: Have brakes checked during every service and MOT
  • Gentle braking: Avoid harsh braking where possible to reduce wear
  • Brake fluid changes: Replace brake fluid every 2-3 years to prevent contamination
  • Listen for noises: Address brake noises immediately to prevent expensive damage
  • Check warning lights: Never ignore brake warning lights on your dashboard
  • Handbrake use: Use your handbrake regularly to prevent seizure

Early brake maintenance is not only safer but also more cost-effective than waiting for complete brake failure, which can cause expensive damage to discs and other components.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repairs

How do I know when my brakes need replacing?

Warning signs include squealing or grinding noises, increased stopping distances, vibration during braking, or the brake warning light. We recommend having brakes inspected if you notice any of these symptoms.

How long do brake pads and discs last?

Brake pad life varies from 20,000-70,000 miles depending on driving style and conditions. Brake discs typically last 60,000-120,000 miles. City driving and frequent braking reduce component life significantly.

Should I replace brake components in pairs?

Yes, we always recommend replacing brake pads and discs in axle pairs (both front or both rear) to ensure even braking performance and prevent vehicle pulling during braking.

How long do brake repairs take?

Simple brake pad replacement typically takes 1-2 hours, while brake disc replacement may take 2-4 hours. More complex brake system work may take longer. We'll provide accurate time estimates when quoting.

Can I drive with worn brake pads?

No, driving with worn brake pads is dangerous and illegal. Worn pads reduce braking effectiveness and can cause expensive damage to brake discs. If you suspect worn brake pads, stop driving and book an urgent inspection.

Do you offer a warranty on brake repairs?

Yes, all brake repairs come with our comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labour. The warranty period varies depending on the components fitted, and we'll explain the terms when providing your quote.
