This is a service we offer all customers & for those who have recently purchased a used car & want to know how long the brakes will last. We carry out a visual brake pad lining thickness check & advise you of the remaining service life of your brakes. This includes removing the rear brake drums (where possible) checking the rear brake shoes, drums & wheel cylinders/hydraulics & providing you with a written report of all our findings.

Please note: It may not possible to inspect the rear brake shoes on some cars without causing damage to the brake drums or wheel bearings. If this is the case we will visually check through the rear brake drum ”Spy Holes” (if present) or advise that further investigation is required. Also note: If during any brake disassembly the brakes may be found in a dangerous condition, you are under no obligation to instruct us to repair the vehicle. However, we will ask you to sign a disclaimer and advise you the vehicle must not be used on the road and is removed from the site by a recovery service (AA or RAC) to comply with the law.
