Compare SEAT brake pads and discs replacement quotes from specialist garages

SEAT was founded in 1950, back when there were only three vehicles for every 1000 people in Spain. A partnership with Fiat brought the company up to speed with the latest car manufacturing techniques, lasting until 1982 when it was sold to the Volkswagen Group.

SEAT has recently won numerous awards; the SEAT Leon was named Best Family Car at the WhatCar? Car of the Year Awards in 2022, and the Terraco won Best Large SUV the year before. SEAT also has approval from the Vatican - in 1982, it created the Popemobile, which Pope John Paul II used on his visit to Spain.

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.
