Frequently Asked Questions
Your common questions
How often should brake pads be replaced?
This varies depending on driving style and conditions, but most brake pads last between 20,000 to 40,000 miles. Regular checks will give you an accurate picture for your vehicle
Is it safe to keep driving with worn brakes?
No - worn brakes significantly increase stopping distance and risk. If you notice any warning signs, it's best to get them checked as soon as possible
How long does brake replacement take?
Most brake pad or disc replacements can be completed within a couple of hours, depending on the vehicle and extent of work needed
Will I need new brake discs as well as pads?
Not always - it depends on the condition and wear of your existing discs. We'll inspect them as part of the job and only recommend replacement if it's genuinly needed
Can I drive to you if my brakes are already making noise?
If your brakes are squealing or grinding but still working normally, it's usually find to drive carefully to us. If the pedal feels spongy, the car pulls strongly to one side or you have little to no braking power it may be best to arrange a tow rather than risk driving
Does brake fluid need to be replaced too?
