When Should You Get Your Brakes Checked?
Your vehicle may need a brake inspection if you notice:
Grinding Sounds – Metal-on-metal grinding often means your brake pads are fully worn and may damage your discs.
Squeaking or Squealing – This could indicate stuck calipers or worn pads with built-in wear indicators.
Pulsating Pedal – A vibrating brake pedal may mean your brake discs are warped.
Pulling to One Side – The car pulling left or right during braking may signal a seized caliper or uneven brake wear.
Spongy or Soft Pedal – Air in the brake lines or old brake fluid could be reducing effectiveness.
Brake Warning Light – This usually indicates low brake fluid or a system fault.
Loose or High Handbrake – If your handbrake pulls up more than usual, it might need adjustment or repair.
Why Regular Brake Checks Matter
Regular brake inspections are vital to detect wear or faults early. Addressing these issues helps maintain optimal stopping power and avoid costly repairs.
Common Brake Issues We Fix
Worn brake pads and shoes
Damaged or thin discs and drums
Leaking or faulty brake calipers
Faulty brake fluid or air in the lines
Noisy or unresponsive brakes
Handbrake problems (manual or electronic)
What’s Included in Our Brake Inspection?
Our complete brake check includes:
Static System Check – We examine brake pedal response, servo function, and lights.
Initial Road Test – To identify performance issues in real-time.
Brake Pad & Shoe Inspection – Checked for thickness and condition.
Disc & Drum Measurement – We assess wear and report any damage.

Brake Fluid Test – We test the fluid’s moisture level and effectiveness.
Handbrake Check – We inspect condition and operation, including electronic systems.
Final Road Test – To confirm everything is operating as it should.
When Do Brakes Need Replacing?
Brake components wear at different rates depending on your driving style and environment. For example:
Motorway driving: Brake pads may last up to 60,000 miles
City driving: Brakes may wear out in as little as 25,000 miles
Front brakes typically wear faster than rear brakes
Pads should be replaced when worn down to 3mm
Discs must be above the manufacturer’s minimum thickness
Let our team measure and assess everything accurately – it’s safer and more precise than DIY checks.
Expert Fitting & Advice
At Titan Recovery, we only fit high-quality brake parts and recommend replacing discs or drums in axle pairs to maintain even braking. After new parts are installed, we’ll advise you on how to bed them in properly for long-term performance.
Peace of Mind, Every Time
We recommend getting your brakes checked at least twice a year or before any long trip or MOT test. Faulty brakes can cause MOT failure and compromise road safety.
