What we check during a brake service
When you bring your car in for brake repair or replacement, we don’t just glance at the pads. We carry out a full inspection of the braking system to keep it working smoothly and safely.
As part of our brake service in Leicester, we typically check:
- Friction materials (brake pads and shoes) – We measure the remaining thickness, check for uneven wear and look for glazing or cracks that can reduce stopping power.
- Discs and drums – We inspect brake discs and drums for scoring, grooves, heat spots and warping, and advise if they can be machined or need replacing.
- Hydraulic components and brake fluid – We check the master cylinder, callipers, wheel cylinders and brake lines for leaks or damage, and look at the condition and level of the brake fluid.
- Brake servo operation – We test the servo so you get consistent assistance on the pedal and a predictable response when you press the brakes.
- Brake pipes and hoses – We look for corrosion, cracking, swelling and any signs of fluid seeping from metal pipes or flexible hoses.
Once we’ve checked everything over, we’ll talk you through what we’ve found, show you any worn parts and agree on the next steps before we start work.

Common signs your brakes need attention
Healthy brakes give a firm pedal and stop the car smoothly. Over time things wear out, and your car starts dropping hints that it wants a bit of attention. Look out for:
- Squeaking or squealing when you touch the pedal
- Grinding noises – often a sign the pads are worn right down
- Vibrations or pulsing through the steering wheel or brake pedal
- Car pulling to one side when braking
- A softer or harder pedal feel than usual
- Brake warning light on the dashboard
- Brake fluid on the driveway or around the wheels
- Burning smells after braking
If any of this sounds familiar, don’t ignore it. The sooner you get your brakes checked, the simpler (and usually cheaper) the fix is likely to be.
