Brake Pad Replacement
If you're Brake warning light is on or your brakes are Screeching it would indicate your pads need replacement.
If you have had our 30 – point brake check carried out which indicates you need your brake pads replacing or you are noticing any of the below symptoms from your vehicle then we recommend having your brake pads replaced sooner rather than later. Having your brake pads replaced at the first sign that they are worn will not only extend the life of the other brake components such as the discs avoiding costly repairs but will also keep you safe.
At Brakefit mobile we only use quality branded parts and all our work including parts are guaranteed against defect for 1 year from fitting
