Experienced Brake Mechanics

We all know that eventually we will have to replace our car’s brake pads and shoes. When that happens, bring your car in to us and one of our expert brake technicians will examine the damage and give you a realistic quotation including parts and labour.

We guarantee that this will be much less than the price you could expect to pay at a main dealership. So, whether you have a Ford, Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes, Honda, VW, Peugeot, BMW, Volvo or any other type of car, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the price.

Do your brakes judder or feel spongy when you put your foot down? Do they make a squeal or shriek? If you’ve been experiencing any of these issues, there’s no need to go to the expense of buying replacement brake discs. Instead, simply bring your car in to Whitkirk Motors our Technicians will take a look and advise the best course of action.

What happens if a Brake Caliper fails?

Essentially, the function of brake calipers is to squeeze the brake pads against the brake discs, so that the car slows down or comes to a complete stop when you touch the brake pedal. Therefore, a broken or faulty caliper means that you will not be able to stop your vehicle as quickly.

Signs of a broken or faulty brake caliper include:

Illumination of the brake warning light which means that brake fluid is leaking
Pulling to one side when you apply the brakes

It is not always necessary to replace a brake caliper. Sometimes it can start to stick because the brake fluid needs topping up. Our mechanics will be able to advise.

When do I replace my Brake Pads or Shoes?

Your vehicle’s brakes are checked as part of your annual MOT Test, but you should bring your car in to Whitkirk Motors if:

You begin to hear a squealing noise when braking
You’ve done a visual check and the lining is only around 3mm thick
You do a lot of city driving where you are constantly stopping and starting
You’ve done more than 12,000 miles

This could pay for almost 6 days of care for a patient staying at the Hospice, covering everything from expert care, to pain relief and meals. Thank you to everyone involved at Whitkirk Motors.
