Your braking system is the single most important safety system on your vehicle. When brakes begin to wear, leak, seize, or lose efficiency, stopping distances increase and minor faults can quickly become dangerous failures.
The "Old Way" forces you to drive a compromised vehicle to a garage or pay for a recovery truck just to get it looked at. We offer the "Smart Way." We provide professional mobile brake repairs carried out at your home or workplace.
There’s no need to drive to a garage with compromised brakes, we come to you, diagnose the issue, and carry out the required repair safely and efficiently using manufacturer-approved parts.
Brake problems often develop gradually and may not be obvious until performance is affected. If you notice any of these symptoms, don't ignore them:
Grinding or Scraping Noise: A harsh sound when braking usually indicates pads have worn down completely and are damaging the discs.
Vibration (Juddering): Shaking felt through the pedal or steering wheel when applying the brakes is often caused by warped brake discs.
Soft or Spongy Pedal: The brake pedal feels "mushy" or goes to the floor, indicating air in the lines, a fluid leak, or master cylinder failure.
Pulling to One Side: The car drifts left or right when braking, often a sign of a seized caliper or uneven tyre pressure.
High Handbrake: The handbrake lever pulls up higher than usual or fails to hold the car securely on a slope.
Dashboard Warning Lights: The ABS or Brake Warning light stays illuminated, signaling a system fault or low fluid.
Increased Stopping Distance: The car simply takes longer to stop than it used to, significantly reducing your safety margin.
We carry out targeted brake repairs across the most common mechanical and hydraulic brake system faults. We diagnose the root cause, whether it's wear, hydraulics, or electronics, before starting the work.
Brake wear components are designed to degrade over time and must be replaced before they become unsafe. We carry out brake pads replacement to restore stopping power and prevent damage to other braking components. Where discs are worn or warped and causing vibration or reduced braking efficiency, we perform brake disc replacement to ensure consistent, safe performance. For vehicles fitted with rear drum brakes, we also carry out brake drum replacement and brake shoe replacement to restore braking effectiveness and correct handbrake operation.

This ensures that your engine receives clean air, which is crucial for maintaining optimal fuel efficiency and performance. A clean air filter prevents dust, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the engine, thereby reducing wear and tear and prolonging the engine's life.

This includes testing the coolant's freezing point to prevent overheating or freezing in extreme temperatures. We also top up screenwash to maintain clear visibility. Furthermore, we meticulously inspect the integrity of hoses and drive belts, as these are critical for the engine's performance and can lead to significant issues if they fail unexpectedly.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) faults can trigger warning lights, affect braking behaviour, and lead to MOT failures. We diagnose ABS issues and carry out appropriate ABS repairs to restore proper system operation and maintain vehicle safety.

Over time, calipers can seize, leak, or fail to retract properly, causing uneven braking, overheating, or premature wear. Our brake caliper repair service addresses sticking pistons and damaged seals. We also carry out handbrake cable replacement for stretched or snapped cables and replace handbrake shoes to restore reliable and secure parking brake function.

Brake repairs cover key braking components rather than full system overhauls. This includes brake pads and discs replacement, brake drums and shoes replacement, brake fluid changes, brake hose replacement, brake master cylinder repair, brake servo repair, ABS repair, brake caliper repair, and handbrake cable and shoe replacement.
Common signs include squealing or grinding noises, vibration when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, increased stopping distance, warning lights on the dashboard, or the handbrake failing to hold the vehicle securely. Any of these symptoms should be checked promptly, as braking performance can deteriorate quickly.
Yes. If brake pads are not replaced in time, they can wear down to the metal backing plate and damage the brake discs or drums. Replacing pads early helps prevent more expensive repairs and ensures consistent braking performance.
A soft brake pedal is often caused by old or contaminated brake fluid, worn hoses, or a failing master cylinder. A heavy pedal typically points to a brake servo fault. Diagnosing the cause ensures the correct component is repaired rather than replacing parts unnecessarily.
Yes. Faulty brakes are one of the most common causes of MOT failures. Issues such as worn pads or discs, leaking brake fluid, ABS warning lights, or an ineffective handbrake can all result in a fail. Addressing these faults in advance improves the likelihood of passing first time.
Yes. Brake caliper repairs address seized pistons or damaged seals that cause uneven braking, overheating, or premature pad wear. Repairing or freeing the caliper helps restore smooth braking and prevents further damage.
Yes. Brake repairs are provided as a mobile service where possible and can be carried out at your home or workplace. This includes most pad, disc, fluid, hose, caliper, and handbrake repairs, depending on vehicle access and condition.
Brake repairs do not include full braking system redesigns, performance brake upgrades, or track-focused modifications. The service focuses on essential safety-critical repairs required to restore proper braking performance and road legality.
