Find out why your brakes feel different
A change in braking deserves an inspection. Tell us if you notice:
- Squealing or grinding when braking.
- Vibration, pulling to one side or a change in pedal feel.
- An ABS warning light, which may need electronic diagnostics.
We check the components and explain whether servicing, adjustment or replacement is needed.
More than pads and discs
We replace worn brake pads and discs, inspect callipers and work on drum brakes, shoes and fitting kits. A sticking calliper or worn hardware can affect a new set of brakes, so the repair needs to address the cause as well as the visible wear.
Your quote will identify the axle, parts and work covered.
What does a brake repair quote cover?
Quote for your car
Your quote depends on the vehicle, parts and work needed. Call with your registration and symptoms so we can explain the assessment and agree the repair cost.

The outer face of a disc does not tell the whole story. Uneven pad wear, corrosion on the inner surface and restricted movement in a calliper can affect braking even when the visible surface looks reasonable.
Inspection considers the condition of the parts together. Where replacement is needed, the quote explains the axle work and any associated fitting components so you know what is included.
After replacement
New friction components need to bed in according to the parts manufacturer’s guidance. We explain the relevant advice when you collect the car. A persistent pull, grinding noise, fluid leak or unusual pedal feel needs further attention.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace callipers?
Yes. We inspect calliper operation and can quote for replacement where needed.
Can you repair rear drum brakes?
Yes. We work on shoes, drums and associated fittings as well as disc brakes.
Can you price the job by phone?
A registration helps identify parts, but we may need to inspect the brakes before confirming the complete repair.
