Transparent pricing
Brake work starts from £80 (front or rear pads), fitted at your location or our workshop. Quality OEM-standard parts, 12-month warranty, and a free brake efficiency check before we quote.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured with £5M public liability.
This service is for you if…
- Squealing, grinding or spongy brakes you want sorted safely
- You want quality parts and a written warranty, not the cheapest pad available
- You’d like pads done at home or work
When we’re not the right call…
- Performance/track big-brake conversions — that’s specialist territory
- Accident or bodywork damage, which isn’t what we do
We’ll always tell you honestly if another specialist is a better fit.
What we’ve sorted recently
ABS pump replacement — Range Rover Evoque
The owner of this Range Rover Evoque brought it in because the braking had started to feel off — grabby and uneven rather than smooth. That's the sort of complaint it's easy to throw parts at, so instead we put it on the diagnostic kit and traced it to a failing ABS pump rather than guessing our way there. With the fault confirmed we replaced the pump and got the braking back to feeling like it should. Pinpointing it first saved the owner the time and cost of chasing the wrong thing.
Brakes and full service — 2019 Mini
This 2019 Mini came in for discs and pads all round along with a full service, and it made a real difference. The discs and pads were heavily worn — the sort of thing that quietly stretches your stopping distance before you ever notice it. With new components fitted and the service done, it's driving smoother and stopping a lot sharper. It's a good example of why regular maintenance pays off, because leaving brakes too long tends to cost more and put you at risk in the meantime. If yours hasn't been serviced in a while, or the brakes have started making noise, get it checked before it turns into something bigger.
