Brake pad check and replacement

These brakes weren't just worn they had disintegrated.

Even if you don't have any mechanical knowledge, take a look at the new brake pads, then look at the old ones (the new ones have the blue stripes). This vehicle would have been driving on the road for months with NO brakes. NO BRAKES! The pistons and calipers had broken and the customer contacted us worried about the vehicles loss of brake fluid. Still in shock...

Disintergrated brake pads and calipers.

Booking in a regular service is so important, not just to keep your vehicle in good working order, but to keep you and everyone else safe on the roads. We are so lucky to have intercepted this vehicle and get it off the road before it caused a major car accident.

If you haven't had your car serviced in 12 months, you probably haven't had your brakes checked. For all servicing, repairs and a free estimate, contact The Engine Bay without delay.
