Brake Inspection in Bideford

Brake Inspection by Boards Vehicle Repairs

Whether your brakes are “spongy”, noisy, or simply taking too long to bring you to a safe stop, choose First Stop for a comprehensive brake service and replacement in Bideford that will keep you safe on the road at all times.

During a brake replacement at Boards Vehicle Repairs, our highly trained technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to accurately assess and address any issues before installation, guaranteeing that your new brakes will be both responsive and reliable.

Even if you haven’t noticed any symptoms of underperforming brakes, remember that brake disks, drums, callipers, and pads are subject to continual wear and tear. Stay on top of preventative maintenance by scheduling brake servicing once a year or every 12,000 miles.

Do you need to Book a Brake Inspection?

If you notice unusual behaviour: the steering wheel is vibrating when you step on the brake, or the brake pedal is harder or softer to press than usual, go to First Stop to get your brakes checked.

"Like and his team are so conscientious, I have an old 1997 jeep, it’s great to have someone to trust with keeping it tip top and running super smooth, I recently had work done to a failed ac system, it now delivers ice cold air into the cabin!!! Highly recommended!!!"
