About this service

Braking, steering and suspension are safety-critical. We inspect them carefully, show you what we find, and quote clearly so you can decide what to approve.

What this covers

  • Brake inspection
  • Brake pad and disc servicing
  • Suspension diagnostics
  • Steering-related checks
  • Noise and vibration investigation

Common warning signs

  • Squealing, grinding or scraping when braking
  • Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel
  • The car pulling to one side
  • Clunks over bumps or a floaty, uneven ride
  • Brake warning lights or a soft pedal

Why it matters

Worn brake and suspension components affect stopping distance, stability and tyre wear. Addressing them promptly supports safe, predictable driving.

What we typically inspect

  • Pad and disc thickness and condition
  • Brake fluid and hydraulic components
  • Shock absorbers, springs, arms and bushes
  • Steering linkages and wheel bearings
  • Tyre wear patterns

The exact checks depend on your vehicle and the symptoms you describe.
