Car Brakes - Chester-le-Street

Brakes are the single most important safety system on your vehicle, and so if something doesn’t feel right, whether it’s a noise, a sensation through the pedal, or a change in stopping distance, it needs to be checked without delay. At A Hedley Motor Engineers , brake inspections, servicing, and repairs are part of our daily work, across all makes and models.

What We Inspect

A brake inspection at A Hedley Motor Engineers covers the full system:

• Brake pads and discs – thickness, wear, and condition
• Brake fluid – level and quality (fluid absorbs moisture over time and should be replaced periodically)
• Calipers and wheel cylinders for seizure, leaks, or uneven wear
• Handbrake operation and adjustment
• Brake lines and hoses – for condition and integrity

Warning Signs

• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when braking
• Pulling to one side under braking
• Vibration or pulsing through the brake pedal
• Longer stopping distances than usual
• Brake warning light illuminated

Honest Advice

We won’t recommend brake work that isn’t needed. If your pads have plenty of life left, we’ll tell you, and if something genuinely needs replacing, we’ll explain exactly why and give you a clear price before any work starts. We use quality parts throughout and work to a standard we’re confident standing behind.

If you’re concerned about your brakes or simply want them checked as part of a general health check, book in at our Chester-le-Street workshop. We’ll give you a straight answer.

A Hedley Motor Engineers is proud to be affiliated with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), and to partner with Payment Assist to give our customers another way to pay for repair bills.
