Brake pads are the part designed to wear down, and they do it steadily with every stop. Discs last much longer, often through several sets of pads, as long as the pads are replaced before they wear through to metal.

Platinum Vehicle Services is a family run garage on Rollingmill Street in Walsall, next to Walsall Manor Hospital. We replace brake pads from £75 per axle and brake discs from £120 per axle on all makes and models. We inspect first, video what we find and agree the price before any work starts. Pre book and we can fit your brakes while you wait.
A squeal is often the wear indicator built into the pad doing its job. Grinding usually means the pad material has worn through, which can damage the disc if it is left. Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel can point to a disc that has worn unevenly. A soft or sinking pedal needs looking at straight away.
Discs are not always replaced with pads. If a disc is still above its minimum thickness and its surface is not badly scored, it can often be reused. Pads should suit how you drive, as the difference between pads is small for most typical UK roads. We inspect first and tell you which parts actually need replacing.
Brake pads start from £75 per axle, and brake discs from £120 per axle, only needed when a disc is worn or damaged beyond reuse. Prices vary with the car, so we confirm the exact cost before any work starts. Find out more about our brake repairs and our brake check and fluid change.
