Car Brake Repairs
It can often be difficult to identify any problems with your brakes, however, there are a few indicative signs that there’s an issue within your braking system, including:
- Squeaking
- High Handbrake
- Soft brake pedal
- Sponginess
- Grinding
- Pulsating
- Car pulling to one side when braking
- Brake warning light on your dashboard
If you notice any of the warning signs above, then don't worry, as you can find convenient brake servicing near you at your local Halfords Autocentre. Simply bring your car in and one of our friendly, experienced technicians will identify and fix the issue, so you can get back on the road safely.

Our free 6-point brake check will give you peace of mind that your brakes are fully operational.

We also offer a brake fluid change at all of our Autocentres across the UK, which also forms part of our major car service . Most car manufacturers recommend that you change your brake fluid every 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever arrives first. During a brake fluid change, one of our qualified technicians will drain the old fluid from your braking system and refill it with new brake fluid in line with your car manufacturer’s guidelines. They will then dispose of the old fluid in an environmentally friendly way.
