Signs your brakes need a look

Noise, a soft pedal or a shake when you brake. What we check.

Noise when braking

A metallic squeal often means worn pads. A constant rub is worth a check even if the pedal feels fine.

Soft pedal or shake

If the pedal goes further down than usual, or the wheel shakes when you brake, the system needs a look. Air in the lines, warped discs or uneven wear are common causes.

What we check

Pad thickness, discs, brake fluid and ABS sensors. We give you a price before we replace anything. Book via Contact or see brakes.
