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.
