Brake Components We Service

A complete braking system involves multiple components, all of which we inspect and replace as required:

  • Brake pads: The most frequently replaced brake component. We recommend quality OEM-specification pads for reliable, consistent stopping power.
  • Brake discs: Should be replaced when worn below minimum thickness or when showing signs of warping, deep scoring or cracking. We always check disc thickness with a micrometer.
  • Brake callipers: Can seize or leak over time, causing uneven braking and rapid disc/pad wear. We inspect calliper operation on every brake service.
  • Brake fluid: Absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point and reducing braking effectiveness. We recommend replacement every 2 years.
  • Brake lines and hoses: Rubber brake hoses can crack internally, causing reduced pressure and spongy pedal feel. We inspect visually and advise replacement where necessary.
  • Handbrake mechanism: Checked and adjusted as part of our brake service. A properly functioning handbrake is also an MOT requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should brake fluid be changed?

Brake fluid should typically be changed every 2 years regardless of mileage. It absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Old, contaminated fluid can cause a spongy pedal and reduced braking performance, particularly under heavy or repeated braking.

Do you replace brake pads and discs together?

It's generally recommended to replace pads and discs on the same axle at the same time, particularly if the discs are worn or scored. Fitting new pads to worn discs reduces their effectiveness and can cause rapid pad wear. We'll advise what's needed based on our inspection.

How long do brake pads last?

Brake pad life varies widely depending on driving style, vehicle weight and the type of braking system. City driving with frequent stopping accelerates wear significantly. A typical front brake pad might last 30,000-70,000 miles. We'll measure pad thickness at every service.
