What is Causing My Brake Issue?

There are many reasons why you may need to book a brake repair in Beckenham. One of the most common is worn brake pads (which usually need replacing every 25,000 to 60,000 miles). If you can hear a rattling sound, your brake caliper may have come loose and needs reattaching. Your brakes are also affected by the cold weather and the weight of your vehicle. If you think any of these apply to you, book an appointment with our specialist team online today.
