About this service

Done right, not rushed: how we handle brake pads

Brake pads are the friction material that actually stops your car, and they wear every time you brake. Left too long, worn pads grind into your rotors and turn a simple job into an expensive one. We don’t just swap pads: we remove the caliper bracket, clean off rust and buildup, lubricate the slide pins and contact points, and make sure the new pads move freely so they stay quiet and wear evenly.

Signs you need it

  • Squealing or squeaking when you brake
  • Grinding, metal-on-metal noise
  • Longer stopping distances
  • Pad wear indicator light on the dash
  • Pads look thinner than 3–4 mm through the wheel

Ceramic pads are quiet and low-dust, semi-metallic pads offer strong stopping power, and organic pads are smooth and gentle. We’ll recommend what suits your car and driving.

Not always. Rotors only need replacing when they’re worn, warped or deeply grooved.

Yes. Supply your own and we’ll install them with the same careful process.
