Modern braking systems are complex. Between ABS/ESP modules, electronic parking brakes, regenerative braking, and MOT compliance — you want a workshop that understands the full picture, not just pads and discs.
Brake issues rarely appear out of nowhere. Most start with subtle symptoms that get progressively worse.
Common triggers include:
• Squealing or grinding noises
• Vibration through steering wheel or pedal
• Vehicle pulling under braking
• Soft, spongy, or inconsistent pedal feel
• ABS/ESP/EPB warning lights
• MOT advisories or failures
Replacement using OEM, premium aftermarket, or performance components matched to vehicle, driving style, and budget.
Diagnosis of seized slider pins, piston failure, uneven wear, and heat damage. Rebuild and replacement options available.
DOT-rated brake fluid changes and pressure bleeds. Essential for pedal feel and fade resistance, especially on EV/PHEV vehicles.
Scanning, resets, calibration, actuator replacement, and safe service procedures for vehicles with EPB systems.
Sensor, module, and wheel-speed diagnostics using dealer-level tooling. Fault-code tracing and full brake performance reports.
Inspection and maintenance of regen braking, corrosion mitigation on low-friction use cases, and correct EPB sequencing.
The right parts depend on the vehicle and how it’s driven.
We supply and fit:
• OEM main-dealer components
• Premium aftermarket (Brembo, ATE, TRW, Pagid, etc.)
• Performance upgrades (grooved/drilled discs, high-temperature pads, track compounds)
• EV/PHEV brake solutions
Budget options are available for older vehicles, but we’ll always advise honestly if a cheaper part compromises safety or performance.
Brakes convert kinetic energy into heat. The hotter the system, the more it risks fade — and modern vehicles generate more heat than ever. Vehicle weight, regen braking, pad compounds, disc design, brake fluid boiling points, ABS logic, and tyre grip all affect performance.
We evaluate braking as a system, not a single wear item.
Electric and hybrid vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking at light load, which reduces pad usage but increases corrosion and seizure risk — especially at the rear.
We handle regen systems, fluid service, EPB actuators, corrosion mitigation, and MOT brake performance testing for EV/PHEV platforms.
Brakes are one of the top causes of MOT advisories and failures.
We manage:
• Disc thickness & lip measurement
• Brake imbalance values
• ABS/ESP/EPB warning lights
• Fluid ageing and contamination
• Corrosion & component wear
If you’ve had an MOT advisory or failure, we’ll fix the underlying issue and re-test as needed.
Costs vary based on vehicle, parts choice (OEM vs aftermarket vs performance), EPB/ABS diagnostics, brake fluid, and labour time.
Before any work begins, you’ll get:
• A written estimate
• Parts options (OEM / Premium / Budget / Performance)
• Lead times and turnaround expectations

Modern braking systems are complex. Between ABS/ESP, electronic parking brakes, regenerative braking and MOT compliance — you want a workshop that understands the full picture.
Brake problems rarely appear out of nowhere. Most start with small changes in noise, feel or warning lights and gradually get worse.
Different vehicles and different driving styles demand different brake components.
We offer options across OEM, premium aftermarket and performance parts to suit your needs and budget.

Brakes don’t just “stop the car” – they convert kinetic energy into heat.
The hotter the system, the more it risks fade.
Modern braking systems are engineered around heat management, hydraulic pressure and electronic stability control.
Disc design, pad compound, fluid condition and tyre grip all impact how the car stops – especially under repeated or emergency braking.
Heat & friction: brake fade and energy absorption
Pad compounds: ceramic, low-metallic, performance
Discs: ventilated, drilled, grooved, smooth OEM
Fluid: boiling point, moisture content, pedal feel
Electronics: ABS, ESP and brake distribution
Tyre interaction: grip, weight transfer and ABS logic
Vehicle weight: EV/PHEV mass increases heat load
Driving style: low-speed city vs high-temp motorway vs spirited

Electric and Hybrid vehicles brake differently. Regenerative braking saves pads, but it also increases corrosion and seizure risk – especially at the rear
Common EV Brake Issues:
We service EV and PHEV braking systems with proper EPB resets, corrosion
prevention strategies and MOT brake performance checks.
Brakes are one of the most common causes of MOT advisories and failures. We handle the diagnosis, repair and re-test, ensuring your vehicle passes without brake-related issues.
Brake Items Assessed During MOT:
If you’ve received an advisory or failed MOT due to brakes, we’ll identify the root cause, fix it properly and re-test if needed.
Brake work varies widely depending on vehicle, parts choice, usage and MOT requirements. We price fairly and only recommend what your car actually needs.
OEM, premium aftermarket or performance
EV, hybrid, performance or commercial
Pad/disc wear, corrosion, fluid and EPB/ABS diagnostics
Simple, transparent and engineered around your vehicle. From the initial inspection to final validation, we walk you through what we find, how we fix it and what it will cost — so you can make informed decisions without guesswork or surprises along the way.
