Brake repairs in Stapleford
Pads, discs, calipers and brake fluid, checked properly and replaced only when they need it.
Don’t ignore brake warning signs
Brakes wear gradually, so it’s easy to get used to them getting worse. If you notice any of the signs below, bring the car in. We’ll inspect the whole system, show you what’s worn and give you a price before any work starts.

Squealing or grinding
A high squeal often means the pads are nearly worn. Grinding can mean metal on metal, so get it checked straight away.
Pulling to one side
If the car pulls when you brake, a caliper may be sticking or one side may be more worn than the other.
Soft or spongy pedal
A pedal that sinks or feels spongy can mean air or moisture in the fluid, or a leak.
Vibration when braking
Juddering through the pedal or steering wheel usually means warped or worn discs.
Pads, discs and shoes
Front and rear pads and discs, plus shoes and drums on cars that have them, fitted with quality parts.
Calipers, hoses and fluid
Sticking calipers, perished hoses and old brake fluid replaced. Brake fluid absorbs water over time, so it needs changing regularly.
Brakes are part of your MOT
Worn brakes are a common reason for MOT failures. If your MOT is coming up, ask us to check the brakes at the same time and we’ll sort anything that’s needed. Car and light van MOTs are £49.95.
