Most modern vehicles will have disc brakes on the front wheels, some even have discs at the rear as well. As an integral part of the braking system on your vehicle, it is imperative that your brake discs are above the recommended wear levels, allowing your brake system to work fully and stop your vehicle.

Due to the Brake pads being such critical parts, all work on them should be carried out by highly skilled and trained mechanics, to ensure that there is no risk of total brake failure from poor work.

At one stop we will always renew brake pads in complete sets to avoid uneven braking for your vehicle.

If your vehicle uses disc brakes, then it will have brake pads within its braking system, on each wheel. The brake pads are used when you apply pressure to the brake pedals, then these pads are forced onto the brake discs, causing the vehicle to slow down.

How will I know if they need replacing?

If your car is seeming to take longer to slow down, or you feel that they should be more responsive, then this would be a good indicator that your brake pads are wearing down. Or if your car has this function, then the brake warning light on your dashboard will flash on.

Another key indicator is if your brakes are making that 'squeaking' noise, or a grinding noise when you brake.

If your car is doing any of these things then don't hesitate to give us a call and we'll check it out for you and get it fixed.

What are they?

brake drums are half of the shoe and drum braking system. They are there so the brake shoes can press against the drum to stop the vehicle. These are mainly used in older vehicles, as more modern vehicles use brake discs instead.

As with all parts of a vehicles braking system, it is imperative that they are all working. Failure in one part can lead to total brake failure.

How can you help?

We stock multiple different types of brake drums for many different makes and models, and have even more available through our vast stock network. If you don't know what type of Brake drum you would need, our experienced team are more than happy to help, and fit, the right ones for your vehicle.

Your hand brake cable is the link between your handbrake lever in your vehicle and the hand brake underneath the car. When you pull on it, the cable pulls the hand brake shoes inside the wheels, pushing them against your brake and stopping your vehicle from moving.

Over time it will wear down, and excessive force on it can make the handbrake cables snap. As it is underneath the car the handbrake cables are exposed to variable different factors that can make it wear down, and as such is prone to snapping.

How can you tell if it's broken?

If your vehicle has a handbrake warning light, then this will be on. However if your vehicle doesn't, then there are a few simple ways to know if your handbrake cables are broken:

• If your vehicle moves or rolls when the handbrake is engaged
• If the handbrake works, but only after excessive force pulling it up
• If the handbrake is on, but won't release
• If your handbrake feels a lot looser on the handle

If this is the case, then call us, we'll come and get your vehicle, and get it fixed. Having a broken handbrake is extremely dangerous, especially if you're anywhere near a hill!

The Drive Belt, also known as the serpentine belt, fan belt or alternator belt, is one of the key parts of the engine that transfers power to the alternator, the air con, as well as the power steering components.

What happens if it is faulty?

If your Drive Belt isn't working then your engine won't be working properly. Over time the belt may become stiffened due to the heat of the engine and this wear and tear can lead to the belt snapping. If this happens this can lead to internal engine damage which is not only dangerous, but also very costly to repair.

How can I tell if it's wearing down?

A few key ways:

• If there is a squeaking coming from the engine bay

If your steering is heavier than usual, this could be an indication that the power steering has failed, and as such, could be down to the drive belt.

Your car will come with a recommendation from the manufacturer as to when your Drive belt will need replacing, if it is near that time, then don't hesitate to call us, we'd be happy to help.

The Inlet Manifold Gasket is between the engine and the air intake manifold and it seals both parts together. It allows the air/fuel mixture to go through the air inlets into the engine, ready for combustion inside the engines cylinder. The Inlet Manifold gasket also is used to cool the engine coolant that can flow through it.

How to tell when its worn

A key indicator could be if your 'Check Engine' light is on.

If your engine is over heating, or running at a higher temperature than usual.

If there is fluid underneath your vehicle, this could indicate a work inlet manifold gasket.

If you can see coolant around the inlet manifold.

If the engine isn't running smoothly.

The exhaust manifold gasket is the thin layer of metal that is between the exhaust manifold and the engine. This thin layer of metal is there to seal this connection and to prevent leaks and secure pressure.

Why does it wear?

As with most parts of your vehicle, due to time, a gasket can start to wear down and leak. Due to the high heats that the exhaust manifold can reach, this part is very vulernarble to the effects, and can heavily wear down.

How can I tell?

There are a few key ways to tell if your exhaust manifold gasket if deteriorating:

• If your 'Check Engine' light is on
• If your vehicle isn't revving with ease as it should, but is more clunky
• If there is a dirt build up around the exhaust manifold
• If your engine is louder or making more noise than usual
• If you can hear a ticking noise in the engine

What should it do?

Just like with your brake system, a suspension system is made up of a series of different parts designed to all limit the effects of the road on your drive. Reducing vibrations and bumps in the road, giving you a smooth ride.

If a single part of your suspension starts to fail or wear, then the entire suspension system could fail. If this happens then the time your tyres spend in contact with the road could be less, meaning your braking distance could be longer, providing a significant threat of danger.

How can I tell if it is wearing down?

Suspension is one on the hardest parts to know if it I wearing down. As it gradually wears over time, you amy not notice the difference. A good way to ensure you catch it early is to regularly service your car, and your mechanic will let you know.

Looking to buy a used car?

If you're thinking of buying a used vehicle, it is worth ordering a pre-purchase inspection beforehand. This will show you if the vehicle is structurally and mechanically working as it should. This can show up any hidden problems which may come back to bite you after you've parted with your hard earned cash.

So what can you do?

Our 200 point inspection will check every aspect of the vehicle for you, and ensure that you can feel safe on the road. Here's a selection of what we check:

• The bodywork
• Steering
• Brakes
• Suspension
• Tyres
• Electronics
• Engine
• A road worthiness test
• Interior
• On Board Computer check
• And much more

If you'd like us to check over your desired purchase, then just give us a ring, and we'd be happy to help.
