Free Brake Check
Not sure if your brakes need attention? We offer a free, no-obligation brake check at both our Hull and Sheffield centres. We’ll inspect your brake pads, discs, and fluid, and give you a clear assessment of their condition.
Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Don’t ignore these warning signs. If you notice any of the following, bring your car in for a brake check:
- Squealing or Squeaking: High-pitched noises often indicate worn brake pads.
- Grinding Noise: A grinding sound suggests pads are completely worn, and metal is contacting metal – this can damage your brake discs.
- Vibration or Pulsing: If your brake pedal or steering wheel vibrates when braking, your discs may be warped.
- Spongy or Soft Pedal: If the pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor, there could be air or a leak in the hydraulic system.
- Car Pulls to One Side: When braking, if your car veers left or right, you may have a stuck caliper or uneven pad wear.
- Warning Light: Many modern cars have a brake warning light on the dashboard.
- Longer Stopping Distance: If it takes more pedal pressure or distance to stop, your brakes are wearing out.
Our Brake Services
- Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the discs to stop your car. We replace worn pads with quality alternatives from trusted brands. - Brake Disc Replacement
Discs can become worn, scored, or warped over time. We replace them in pairs (both front or both rear) to ensure even braking. - Brake Caliper Repair & Replacement
Calipers squeeze the pads against the discs. If a caliper sticks or leaks, it can cause pulling, uneven wear, or reduced braking performance. - Brake Fluid Change
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces its boiling point and can lead to brake fade. We test your fluid and replace it when needed. - Handbrake Adjustment & Repair
A loose or ineffective handbrake can be an MOT failure. We adjust cables or repair faulty components. - Brake Hose Replacement
Braided or rubber hoses can crack, bulge, or leak over time. We replace damaged hoses to restore proper brake pressure.
