Free Brake Check: What We Look At
Brakes wear gradually, so it's easy to miss the point where they go from fine to unsafe. Our free brake check inspects the key components and how they're performing, giving you an honest picture and plenty of warning before a repair becomes urgent.
Pads & Discs
We measure brake pad thickness and inspect the discs for wear, scoring, lipping and corrosion, the parts that do the actual stopping.
Brake Fluid
A check of your brake fluid level and condition, as old fluid absorbs moisture and reduces braking performance over time.
Performance
We check for pulling, vibration, noises and a spongy pedal, the tell-tale signs that something in the braking system needs attention.
Free Brake Check: The Honest Answer
No catch, no obligation
Brakes are the one thing you never want to gamble on, so we'd rather you got them checked than left it too long. The check is genuinely free, and there's no obligation to book any work, if your brakes are fine, we'll simply tell you so.
If we do find worn pads, tired discs or a fluid issue, we'll show you, explain how urgent it is, and give you a clear price, then it's your call. No pressure, and we'll always be honest about what needs doing now versus what can safely wait.
It's a smart check to book if you've noticed any warning signs, or simply for peace of mind before a long drive or your MOT.

Free Brake Check: FAQ
Real answers to what people actually ask about our free brake check.
Yes, genuinely free with no obligation. We inspect your pads, discs, fluid and braking performance and give you an honest report. If your brakes are fine, that's it, no cost and no pressure.
If they need work, we'll quote for it, but whether you go ahead is entirely your decision.
We measure brake pad thickness, inspect the discs for wear and corrosion, check the brake fluid level and condition, and assess braking performance for pulling, vibration, noise or a soft pedal.
It gives you a clear, honest picture of your brakes and how long they've got left.
Common signs are squealing or grinding, juddering through the pedal, the car pulling to one side, a soft or long pedal, or a brake warning light. Any of these is worth a free check straight away.
That said, brakes can wear without obvious symptoms, so a check for peace of mind is never wasted, especially before a long trip or your MOT.
Often, yes. If the free check shows you need pads or discs and you're happy to proceed, we can usually carry out same-day brake repairs, subject to parts availability.
You can also spread the cost with Payment Assist over 3, 4 or 6 months at 0% interest.
Usually around 20 to 30 minutes. Many customers wait while it's done, or drop the car and come back. We'll always talk you through what we found before you leave.
Call or book online and we'll find you a convenient slot.
They can. Excessively worn pads or discs, imbalanced braking or a fluid leak are all MOT failures, and thinner pads may show as an advisory. Getting a free brake check before your MOT lets you sort any issues first.
It's a simple way to avoid a fail and the retest hassle.
None at all. The check is free and if your brakes are fine we'll simply say so. If they need work we'll explain and quote, but the decision is yours and we won't pressure you.
If you do want it done, we're a full brake specialist and can sort it, with Payment Assist to spread the cost.
Call 01744 808586, WhatsApp 07943 185471, or book online. Just tell us your make and model and we'll find you a slot, no payment and no obligation.
