Southend is a coastal city in southeastern Essex, 40 miles east of central London. It is served by the A13 via Tilbury and London Docklands and the A127 via Basildon and Romford. Both roads connect to the M25. The railway station is on the Shenfield-Southend branch of the Great Eastern Main Line and the Essex Thameside Line. The county has many potholes compared to others in the UK, so it's worth driving with extra care to avoid damaging your car.

Since Southend is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Southend.

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.
