How it works
Best for: discs at or near their minimum thickness, lipped edges, or a pulsing brake pedal.
Discs wear as well as pads, just more slowly. Once they are at their minimum thickness, or badly lipped at the edge, new pads on old discs will not bed in properly and you lose braking performance you have just paid for.
We clean the hub face back before the new discs go on. A disc bolted onto a rusty hub sits fractionally out of true, and that is what a pulsing brake pedal usually is — not warping, but a disc that was never running flat to begin with.
The car is road tested and the brakes bedded in before you collect, which is what stops a new set glazing in the first week.
Which cars? Any make or model. Discs vary in price more than pads do, so we confirm the figure from the registration before you book.
Warranty: 12 months on parts and labour.
What customers say
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.
Workshop brakes
Grinding, squealing, a pulsing pedal or just a warning light — it narrows down what we are looking for before the car arrives.
We measure the discs against the manufacturer's minimum and check the pads, then tell you the figures rather than an opinion.
Pads, or pads and discs, and what each costs on your car. Nothing happens until you have said yes.
New brakes are bedded in on the road, not left for you to do. Twelve months on parts and labour.
Works well with
Each of these covers something the others cannot. Fitted in the same visit they cost less than booking them separately — ask and we will price the combination.

Servicing
The full annual service. Every filter, a 40 point safety check and the wheels off to inspect the brakes properly.

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
Yes, always both sides together — replacing one side alone leaves the car braking unevenly. Front and rear are separate jobs and are almost never due at the same time.
Usually not. Genuine warping is rare. Far more often the disc is sitting slightly out of true because the hub face underneath it was not cleaned when it was fitted, or there is uneven pad deposit on the surface. Both are fixable, and we check which it is before selling you anything.
Yes. Pads and discs, fitted, for a pair. There is no separate labour charge on top.
Pads typically last between 25,000 and 40,000 miles, and discs about twice that — but town driving wears them far faster than motorway miles, so mileage alone is a poor guide. Any service we do includes a brake check, which is how most people find out.
We fit quality branded parts as standard, and genuine manufacturer parts if you would rather. Tell us which when you book and we will price both.
