Compare brake pads and discs replacement quotes from specialist garages in Coventry

Coventry is close to the M60, M45, M40, M6 and M1 motorways. It used to be known as Britain's "motor city" because it was home to many world-famous brands like Rover, Jaguar Morris and Triumph. The first ever British car was built in Coventry over one hundred years ago. By 2023, the city is set to receive 130 electric buses and aims to have all buses running on electricity by 2025. There is currently no clean air zone in place.

Driving in cities like Coventry puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Coventry for all these crucial components.

Brake discs spin with your car's wheels, while brake pads push on the discs to slow the vehicle. Due to the friction involved, these components wear down over time.

Typically, brake pads last between 25,000 to 65,000 miles, while discs usually last more than 50,000 miles. Learn more about how brakes work here.

On the other hand, when your discs need replacing, symptoms may include a grinding sound, reduced performance, and a less responsive brake pedal. This guide covers five brake problems you shouldn't ignore.

The cost of brake pads and discs replacement depends on the type of vehicle. Booking a mobile brake fitting is sometimes cheaper than taking your car to a garage, and it's often more convenient.
