How often should brake pads be changed?

Usually every 30,000–50,000 km, depending on how you drive and the car. We measure them and tell you how many millimetres are left before changing anything.

Do the discs have to be changed with the pads?

Only if they're out of spec, scored or warped. If they'll take another set of pads, we tell you and leave them.

Can I bring the car in on a Saturday?

Yes. We open Saturday mornings. Book by WhatsApp or phone and we'll give you a time.
