Mobile Brake Pad Replacement
Clearly, having good, or rather excellent, functioning brakes is one of (if not THE) most important aspects of any vehicle. So if you have any concerns over the performance of your brakes whatsoever, you should call a mobile brake repair specialist to come to you as soon as possible. Ideally we'd like you to choose D&E Auto Repairs to You, as we have had many years of repairing, replacing and fitting brake pads in and around Coventry.
Simply give us a call or complete our simple form with your vehicle registration, so we know what replacement brake pads would be required - if this is the reason you are having braking issues. We can come to you whether your vehicle is parked at home or at work and 'get to work' on fixing your brakes. It's a simple way to take away any worries you may have about driving your vehicle again, and once we've assessed the issue we will be able to advise on what the required repairs are for your brakes and whether or not you should drive your vehicle until it is repaired.

Brake Parts We Replace at Your Home
We replace brake pads and discs, brake drums and shoes, wheel cylinders and handbrake cables, and repair or replace damaged or corroded brake lines, using fresh copper pipe with the correct unions and new rubber flexi hoses where required.
We also offer full brake system bleeds, as manufacturers require brake fluid to be changed every two years. We diagnose braking issues from squeaking brakes to seized calipers or cylinders, and we can put right most brake-related MOT fails at the roadside.
Brake Repair Service Coventry
Regular servicing is important, as it will check your brakes to ensure any required repairs are addressed early to minimise any potential safety issues, but if you do suddenly notice a change in the behaviour of the brake pedal or the braking performance of your vehicle, you should get this checked out as soon as possible. The issue could be down to the condition of your brake pads or brake discs, or possibly a problem with your brake fluid or the pipes carrying the fluid. It could also relate to your brake servo system, so we will check each of these and, once we have identified the problem, or problems, let you know whether a repair or replacement is required and how long the fix is likely to take.
Brake Pad Replacement Coventry
Wear of your brake pads and discs is an inevitable part of driving, so they will always need to be changed on a regular basis. The frequency will depend on the amount you drive, the type of driving you cover and your style of driving in relation to your braking habits. Driving a fully laden vehicle means that the brakes need to bring a heavier vehicle to a halt, which places more strain, friction and heat on the brakes, speeding up the wearing process. If you have a full car, which sometimes can't be avoided, be mindful to adjust your driving style to accommodate this extra weight and give yourself more time and space to slow down. The same can be said for sharp acceleration followed by sharp braking. Braking from higher speeds will put more pressure on all parts of your brake system.
When your pads and brakes become worn, you should be able to tell that braking takes longer and you need to apply more force on the brake pedal. This symptom could also be down to an issue with the levels of brake fluid in your braking system. If the pipes housing the brake fluid are damaged or there is a leak, this will impact the amount of hydraulic pressure that can be applied to the braking system. If there is wear around the seal and dirt or moisture can get into the fluid, this will impact braking performance too.

Another sign that you need to be aware of, although it will be hard not to notice, is if your brake pedal is vibrating. This may be down to your brake system simply requiring some minor adjustments to be made, rather than replacing worn brake parts. As well as the vibrating, it is likely that braking will not be as sharp either, and you may also notice that your car pulls to one side when applying the brakes. Depending on the age of your vehicle, your dashboard may also indicate a potential issue with your brakes - clearly not a warning light to be ignored! Pulling to one side can also come from worn suspension components, so we check both.
If you notice any of these things then please get in touch. These faults could be fixed with a simple and relatively quick repair, and as well as getting you underway safely again, it will mean that you protect the other parts of your braking system, preventing early replacement and the associated costs that come with it.
Frequently Asked Mobile Brake Repair Questions
Why choose a mobile mechanic in Coventry to fit new brake pads?
As with all our mobile services, we can carry this out at your home or business, so it will be extremely convenient for you. With low overheads, you will find our mobile vehicle brake services extremely competitive too.
How do I know when to call you regarding my brakes?
Soft brake pedal, noisy brakes, grinding noises or a stuck-on handbrake: we cover all these issues and many more. A soft pedal could indicate a big problem, i.e. a fluid leak or air trapped in the braking system. Noises and grinding could be the pad material fully worn down to the metal plate, which is now contacting the disc and becoming dangerous. Seized calipers, pins or wheel cylinders can also cause a lot of the same issues listed above. If you notice any of these, please get in contact and we can help.
Can you replace brake pads and discs at my home?
Yes. We replace pads and discs on your driveway or at your workplace, along with calipers, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, handbrake cables and brake pipes.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Manufacturers generally require the brake fluid to be changed every two years. We can carry out a full brake system bleed at your home, on its own or alongside new pads and discs.
Can you fix a brake MOT failure?
In most cases, yes. We can rectify most brake-related MOT fails at the roadside, from worn pads and discs to corroded brake pipes.
