Frequently asked questions
- How much do Brake Pads and Discs cost to repair in Wallsend?
- Brake Pad and Disc replacement prices will vary depending on make and model, part quality and which components are being replaced. Our overall average repair price is around £170 in Wallsend.
- What is a Brake Pad?
- Your car's Brake Pad works in the same way as the rubber brake blocks on a bicycle. When your car's wheels turn, a brake disc (or sometimes drum) turns with them. When you press the brake, you are pushing your car's brake pads against the discs, causing friction, and slowing the car.
- What is a Brake Disc?
- Your brake disc performs the same job, in principle, as the metal rim of a bicycle wheel under braking. When you brake, you push your brake pads against brake discs, which spin with your wheels. The friction on between the pads and discs slows the car.
- What is the difference between Disc Brakes and Drum Brakes?
- Brake discs and Brake drums perform exactly the same job: they spin with your car's wheels and, when you brake, your brake pads push against the brake discs or brake drums to slow the car. The difference is simply in the design. Drum brakes are an enclosed braking system in which brake pads (or shoes) push outwards on the inside of the drum. Disc brakes are exposed, with the pads pushing inwards against the disc.
- Can I get Wallsend Brake Pad and Disc repairs at my home or work?
- Yes. Many of our Wallsend garages are happy to come to your home or office to repair your car. Alternatively they may offer to collect your car, at little or no extra cost, across Wallsend.

Wallsend is in North Tyneside, just over three miles from Newcastle. It's on the northern side of the Tyne Tunnel, part of the A19 road. You must pay a toll for passing through the tunnel; you can either pre-pay (the cheaper option) or pay online by midnight the following day to avoid a fine. Wallsend Metro station is on Wooley Street; it is the only station in the UK with signs written in Latin.
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.
