Just like your body, when your brakes have a problem they will let you know. However,
Five Star Autocentre recommends common signs of brake problems to note are:
• Brakes juddering when applied
• Rear wheels locking upon braking
• A grinding noise when the brakes are off
• A squealing or grinding noise when braking
• If the vehicle pulls to one side when braking
Keep yourself and others safe on the road. Do not delay in asking for help if you
have any of the above symptoms.

So if your brakes need replacing, we should be able to do it that very day as we hold stock on the widest possible selection of brakes, regardless of shape and size.
Often motorists leave checking their brakes to when their car MOT is due. However, Five Star Autocentre recommends that you have them inspected periodically. Checks are an important part of your vehicle servicing requirements. Motorists who tend to use their car for longer trips are likely to maintain their brakes for longer than those who use their cars for shorter journeys. Five Star Autocentre recommends that you look out for the following tell-tale signs of when your brake pads are in need of repair or change:
1) Pull to the right or left when braking – this normally means that there could be issues with the hydraulic elements or brakes sticking on the discs.
2) Grinding noise – this usually suggests that the brake pads have reached the minimum thickness, so you should contact Five Star Autocentre to have your car brake pads changed.
Our FREE brake check facility gives a clear picture of the condition of your vehicle’s brakes, and whether you need new discs, pads or if the braking system itself is in need of repair. We compare all elements against the manufacturer’s specification guidelines, which means Five Star Autocentre will help you get your brakes back to the most efficient standards set.
