Brake repair in Newbury
Brakes give you plenty of warning before they give up. If yours are making a noise, pulling, or the pedal feels different, we will take the wheels off, measure everything and show you what we find.
Signs your brakes need attention
- Squealing or grinding when you brake
- The car pulls to one side under braking
- A soft, spongy or long pedal
- Juddering through the pedal or steering wheel
- A brake warning light on the dash
What we do
- Measure pads and discs against the wear limits
- Replace pads, discs, calipers or hoses as needed
- Change brake fluid when it is due
- Road test and check the handbrake

Questions we get asked
How long do brake pads last?
It depends heavily on the car and how it is driven. Town driving wears them much faster than motorway miles. We measure them at every service and MOT so you know where you stand.
Do discs need changing with the pads?
Not always. Discs are replaced when they are below minimum thickness, scored or warped. We measure them and tell you.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend about every two years, because the fluid absorbs moisture and that lowers its boiling point.
