BRAKE PADS & DISCS
Quick Turn Around Time
GOOD BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE DISCS ARE CRUCIAL COMPONENTS.
Regular maintenance is key for the braking system, with brake pads being a more frequent item requiring replacement compared to brake discs, which is advantageous.
Brake pads, often referred to as brake shoes, are meticulously positioned on both sides of your vehicle’s caliper. When you engage the brakes, the caliper applies pressure to the pads, effectively stopping your car.
It doesn’t take a PhD to grasp that your brake system and its various components should operate optimally at all times. Thus, replacing brake pads on your vehicle is a matter of utmost importance.
Brake Pad Replacement Cost
Car brake pads price typically vary from vehicle to vehicle. Price is, furthermore, dependent on whether or not you require front brake pads or rear brake pads individually, or all together.
Brake Pad And Disc Replacement Cost
Again this is naturally going to be varying from vehicle to vehicle. There are however really only two occasions where you will need to have a brake pad and discs replacement at the same time. It is possible to place brand-new pads on existing discs that are in good to fair condition however new discs cannot be properly applied to old pads. The other is when all are worn at the same time.
WHAT SIGNS TO TYPICALLY EXPECT FROM FAILING BRAKES
Some signs are very obvious, but others are not. If you are genuinely concerned that your brakes need changing and you think its safe to drive over to us we can generally pick a brake fault up visually. If not a test drive or more comprehensive check will uncover the problem.
WARNING LIGHTS
its fairly obvious but there are people who will clock up huge mileage while their brake light is on.
steering pulling
Damaged brakes can lead to the car drifting off to one side when in motion.
puddles on the ground
Damaged lines and bleed nuts will often produce fluid on the ground at the wheels.
sound
It’s an obvious one but again – people drive around while their wheels are screeching !
soft pedals
When the brake pedal is applied it feels unusually different, this is often called spongy.
vibration
Vibration can often be experienced while applying pressure to the brake pedal.
