Brake Repair & Replacement - your questions answered
Q.How much does it cost to replace brake pads?
From £89 per axle for pads only, from £175 for pads and discs together. We always quote your exact car upfront.
Q.Should I replace pads and discs at the same time?
Usually yes - new pads on worn discs will wear out quickly and may squeal. We'll only insist if the discs are at or below minimum thickness.
Q.How long do brakes last?
Front pads typically 25,000-50,000 miles. Discs roughly twice that. Heavy traffic drivers wear them faster.
Q.Is the brake check really free?
Yes - no obligation, no pressure. Pop in or book a slot.
Q.Can I drive with squealing brakes?
Squealing usually means pads are near the wear indicator. Drive gently and book in straight away - don't leave it until they grind.
