“Brakes were making an awful grinding noise and I was genuinely worried about driving my daughter to school. They collected the car that morning, rang me with a proper explanation of what needed doing, and had it back by teatime. The brakes feel completely different now, so smooth and quiet. Honestly cannot fault them.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a brake pad replacement typically cost?
Brake pad replacement usually costs between £80-£180 depending on your vehicle make and whether you need front or rear pads. You'll get a fixed-price quote upfront with no hidden fees, and we'll show you photos of what actually needs replacing so you're only paying for necessary work. Premium quality pads with warranties are included in all our pricing.
What are the warning signs that my brakes need attention?
Listen for grinding, squealing, or scraping noises when braking, which indicate worn pads or damaged discs. You should also watch for a spongy or soft brake pedal, vibrations through the steering wheel, your car pulling to one side, or the brake warning light appearing. Any of these symptoms mean you need a professional inspection straightaway for safety.
How long does a full brake service take?
Most brake services take between 2-4 hours depending on what needs doing. Simple pad replacements are quicker, whilst full disc and pad changes on both axles take longer. We offer same-day availability for urgent repairs across Birmingham, and we'll give you an accurate timeframe once we've assessed your vehicle's specific needs.
Do you collect vehicles from anywhere in Birmingham for brake work?
Yes, we collect your vehicle free of charge from anywhere in Birmingham using our specialised transport trucks. Whether you're at home, work, or elsewhere in the area, we'll pick it up, complete the brake repairs at our fully equipped facility, and deliver it back to you without you needing to arrange transport or drive with potentially unsafe brakes.
Should I replace brake discs and pads together?
It depends on the disc condition. If your discs are worn below minimum thickness, warped, or heavily scored, they need replacing with the pads. However, if discs are still within specification and the surface is smooth, you can often just replace pads. We'll measure everything properly and show you photos so you only pay for what's genuinely needed.
What causes brake discs to warp or wear unevenly?
Warped discs usually result from excessive heat buildup during heavy braking, especially on steep descents or in stop-start traffic. Uneven wear often comes from seized callipers that don't release properly, contaminated brake fluid, or cheap pads that don't distribute pressure evenly. Regular inspections catch these issues before they damage expensive components or compromise your safety.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend changing brake fluid every 2-3 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can cause brake fade or internal corrosion in your hydraulic system. During our brake inspections, we test fluid condition and let you know if it needs replacing before problems develop.
Why do my brakes squeal even though the pads look thick?
Squealing with plenty of pad material left usually means glazed pads from excessive heat, brake dust buildup between pad and disc, or cheap pad compounds that contain metal particles. Sometimes it's just the wear indicator tab touching the disc as designed. We'll diagnose the exact cause and recommend whether cleaning, deglazing, or replacement is needed.
Can you repair brakes on all vehicle makes and models?
Yes, our fully equipped facility handles brake repairs on all vehicle types from everyday cars to specialist brands without manufacturer restrictions. Unlike mobile mechanics limited to basic roadside work, we have professional diagnostic equipment, hydraulic presses, and technical resources to properly service any braking system. Over 2,849 customers have trusted us with everything from small hatchbacks to luxury vehicles.
What warranty comes with your brake repairs?
All brake components we fit come with manufacturer warranties covering parts and workmanship. Premium brake pads, discs, and hydraulic parts are guaranteed for quality and longevity, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected. We only use quality components that we'd be happy fitting to our own family's vehicles.
Is it dangerous to drive with worn brake pads?
Absolutely yes. Worn pads reduce stopping power significantly, meaning you need much more distance to stop safely in Birmingham's busy traffic. Once pads wear completely, metal backing plates grind directly against discs, causing expensive damage and potentially catastrophic brake failure. If you're hearing grinding noises or noticing reduced braking performance, get it checked immediately.
How do I book a brake inspection with collection included?
Just contact us with your location and a brief description of any symptoms you've noticed. We'll arrange a convenient collection time, pick up your vehicle with our specialised trucks, complete a comprehensive brake assessment, and send you a transparent fixed-price quote with photos before starting any work. Same-day service is available for urgent safety concerns.
