Brakes
We provide a comprehensive range of brakes for all vehicles, including Brake Pads, Shoes, Discs, Calipers and Brake Cables.
At B.E.T.S we know how important the regular inspection and maintenance of your brakes can be. Everyone knows that your braking system is what stops your car safely.
Brakes are in use more often when driving around town than on a motorway journey, not forgetting that you may need to use your brakes to stop your vehicle quickly in an emergency. So maintaining an effective vehicle braking system is a top priority for every motorist.
Regular brake checks are an important part of any vehicle preventative maintenance plan. The effects of a sudden brake failure can be devastating and in the event of an accident attributed to faulty brakes, the consequences of not maintaining an effective braking system could result in prosecution. Your vehicle will also fail its MoT test if braking efficiency is below specification. Brake checks can identify a problem before it begins to impact your braking efficiency.
The performance of your vehicle's braking system is tested on a rolling road to measure the amount of braking force generated while operating the hand and foot brake. The braking force generated is then recorded and compared to the manufacturer's specified tolerance level. Any reading or imbalance falling outside these tolerance levels will result in an MOT test failure.
As best practice for people who cover average or greater than average annual mileage and for normal coverage motorists, We recommend that a vehicle's braking system is checked at least twice a year.
We offer a free, no-obligation brake check that takes around 45 minutes. The inspection covers a full braking system inspection digitally measuring wear on your vehicle brake pads, shoes, discs and drums. We’ll always give you a full written report of our inspection showing the current condition of your braking system, together with a free no obligation quote should any work be required.
