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.
When your brake pads need changing, you might notice heavy vibrating, a screeching sound, or your car may pull to the side. 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. If you're wondering, "where can I get my brakes changed?", you're in the right place. We can help you find a car brake centre near you.
