When you need new brake pads or discs; Use our form to get your brakes inspected and fit replacement braking components
New brake pads take a little while to bed-in and adjust to the tiny grooves on the brakedisc surface;
The brake pads transfer a thin coating of high friction material to the disc rotor surface; this increases the friction between pad and disc and improves stopping power
Routine Brake servicing Bromley: New Brake discs and pads fitted to most cars
Replacement brake pads fitted to most makes of car in the Bromley area
Stopping power and pad wear are closely linked: if the friction coating is altered to give better stopping performance then the pads generally wear faster
Ceramic - copper fibre based brake pads generally, offer a high friction coefficient for stopping power and tend not to suffer from brake fade as the discs heat up with heavy braking
If your vehicle has a sensor that warns when the high friction coating has worn down then arrange to have your braking system inspected and new pads fitted
Never put off having your brakes repaired or checked if you suspect a problem as your safety depends on correct brake function
Many brake discs are made from cast iron to ensure good wear resistance and ability to withstand deformation forces
Ventilated discs can have a high build up of rust-corrosion inside the vent cavity which can cause problems with disc performance - this should be checked at regular service intervals
Modern disc design can include vented front discs to assist in disc cooling - heat dissipation; slotted surface finishing to remove dust and dissipate water in wet conditions
If the brake pads wear excessively it is possible to scar the disc surface - badly scarred discs should then be replaced to avoid the risk of stress cracking
Make sure your car doesn't fail the MOT because of corroded brake fittings by fitting new stainless steel pipes and couplings
If the braking system is losing fluid you made to to fit a replacement brake cylinder
The pistons making up the master cylinder and Slave cylinder have seals that can fail leading to the rapid loss of brake fluid and stopping power
Each brake caliper is operated by a small piston that uses hydraulic power to press the brake pads against the disc surfaces
While the hydraulic braking system will stop the vehicle; stopping power is magnified by a brake servo
