Why Kwik Fit
When to check your brakes
You should have your brakes checked if you notice any of the following: squeaking or grinding noises, a spongy or soft brake pedal, the car pulling to one side when braking, a vibrating brake pedal, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Kwik Fit offers a free brake check with no obligation.
Brake pad replacement
Brake pads typically need replacing every 25,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving style and conditions. Worn brake pads reduce stopping distance and can damage brake discs if left unchecked. Kwik Fit uses quality pads that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications and can replace pads on most vehicles while you wait.
Brake disc replacement
Brake discs generally last longer than pads, typically 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Discs may need replacing if they are worn below the minimum thickness, scored, warped, or corroded. Kwik Fit technicians will measure and inspect your discs during the free brake check and advise if replacement is needed.
