Brake disc and pad replacement in Kingston upon Thames

It depends on the car, and whether you're replacing the front pads, rear pads, or both.

This can vary significantly, depending on your driving style, vehicle type, and driving conditions. Frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in heavy traffic, aggressive braking, towing or carrying heavy loads, or driving in hilly areas can all shorten brake pad life.

No. This is strictly a replacement service. Brake discs and pads are designed to be replaced, not repaired, to ensure maximum safety and performance.

It depends on your car, but the average would be approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

Common signs include a grinding or squealing noise, the car pulling to one side when you brake, or a warning light on your dashboard. If you notice any of these, or just aren’t sure, please book a Fault Finder appointment so we can check them for you.

Brake pads and brake discs are the two main components of a braking system. They work together to slow your car down. The brake disc is a large metal disc that’s attached to each wheel hub. It rotates with the wheel. The brake pads are friction components. They’re mounted inside the brake caliper. When you press the brake pedal, the caliper pushes the brake pads against the brake disc. The friction there is what slows the wheel down. The pads are designed to wear down over time, and are typically replaced more frequently than brake discs, which last longer, but can eventually wear down, and require replacing themselves.

Yes. On many vehicles, once the warning light+D76 triggers, the wear sensors need replacing along with the pads. Please let us know in advance if your light is on so we can ensure we bring the correct sensors for your car. Also, please note that replacement sensors are charged as an additional item to the standard brake pricing.
