Brakes in Milton Keynes
Pads on their own, or pads and discs together. Which one you need is decided by measuring the discs against the manufacturer’s minimum, not by guessing — so we measure first and give you the figures before anything is quoted.
- Discs measured, and the numbers shown to you
- Priced per pair, before any work starts
- Calipers cleaned and greased as standard
- Road tested and bedded in before you collect

View productWhat it is telling you
Brakes give plenty of warning
Almost every brake job announces itself before it becomes expensive. Here is what each sign usually turns out to be — and the one that means stop driving.
Squealing under braking
Book it inOften the wear indicator doing its job — pads getting low rather than a fault.
Grinding
Stop driving itUsually the pad material is gone and metal is against the disc, cutting into it.
Pulsing pedal
Book it inRarely warped discs. Far more often a disc sitting out of true on a dirty hub face.
Pulling to one side
SoonTypically a sticking caliper on the opposite side, which eats that side's pads early.
Longer stopping distance
SoonGlazed pads, a fluid problem, or pads simply worn beyond their useful range.
Warning light
Book it inOn cars with wear sensors, the pad has reached the trigger point. It is not a suggestion.
How the price is decided
Measured, not estimated
A disc has a minimum thickness stamped into it by the manufacturer. New, it might be 26mm; the minimum might be 24mm. Two millimetres is the entire service life.
We measure yours and tell you the number. If there is thickness left, you need pads. If there is not, fitting pads to worn discs wastes both — and we will say so rather than take the smaller job and see you again in six months.
Discs above the minimum
Pads only. From £89 a pair, fitted.
Discs at or near the minimum
Pads and discs together. From £179 a pair, fitted.
Lipped edge or a pulsing pedal
Pads and discs, and we clean the hub faces back.
Sticking caliper
Quoted separately, because it is a different job.
What customers say
Rated 4.9 across Milton Keynes

Had my Mercedes C180 in with Kaine to replace both front suspension springs. I knew that this was not an easy job on this car. Dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready that afternoon. He did an amazing job and I'll be recommending him to friends and family for any work that they need doing. 5 stars!
Had my Audi S3 in for a complete overhaul — Kaine supplied and fitted all the parts, including cam belt, water pump, a full service and a balance shaft delete. He also noticed one of my rear callipers was sticking, so recommended and fitted a new calliper and new rear discs and pads too. A 5 star service — I'll only use Kaine from now on for any mechanical work.
Exceptional experience with Kaine. Came out to me, took my car and fixed it all within two hours. Very impressed and will definitely call him if needed again. Great price.
While the wheels are off
Worth doing in the same visit
The wheels are already off and the car is already with us, so anything else due costs labour once rather than twice.
Servicing
Major Service
The full annual service. Every filter, a 40 point safety check and the wheels off to inspect the brakes properly.

MOT
Collect and Deliver MOT
We collect the car, test it, ring you with the result, and bring it back — so the MOT costs you a phone call rather than a morning.

Questions
Brakes, answered straight
How do I know if I need pads or pads and discs?
By measuring. Discs have a minimum thickness stamped on them by the manufacturer, and once they are near it they have to be replaced alongside the pads. We measure yours with the wheels off and give you the actual figure before anything is decided.
What does grinding mean?
Usually that the pad material is gone and the metal backing is against the disc. At that point the disc is being cut into and pads on their own will not fix it. Stop driving it and ring us — this is the one brake noise not to leave.
Is squealing always a problem?
No. Many pads have a wear indicator designed to squeal when they are getting low, which is a warning rather than a fault. Light rust squeal on a first stop of the morning is normal too. Constant squealing under braking is worth looking at.
Are the prices for a pair or for the whole car?
For a pair — front or rear. Most cars need the fronts first because they do the majority of the braking, and the rears follow later rather than at the same time.
Can you do brakes while the car is in for a service?
Yes, and it is the sensible way round. On a major service the wheels come off for the brake inspection anyway, so doing both in one visit saves a second lot of labour.
Will it affect my warranty?
No. A car can be maintained anywhere as long as the work is done to schedule with the correct parts. We fit quality branded parts as standard, or genuine manufacturer parts if you would rather.
