Brake Inspection by LDR Auto Car Care Ltd

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 Wickford that will keep you safe on the road at all times.

During a brake replacement at LDR Auto Car Care Ltd, 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.

jada mckie - December 05, 2025

"I spoke to a really nice man on Wednesday about booking an MOT. He explained that they don’t carry out MOTs on their own, but if I were having a service done, they could arrange an MOT alongside it. He also recommended another garage that specialises in MOTs. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, and because he came across as so genuine, I’ll definitely bring my car to LDR if I ever need a service or have any issues. Great customer service!"

"After being recommended to Lee at Ldr auto care I was very impressed with the quick communication I received back to book my car in. Having previously been to other garages who were unable to find the cause of a problem with my car, Lee found out the cause of the problem with ease and gave my car a full look over giving me confidence and peace of mind knowing what did and didn’t need doing. Lee is extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend Ldr to anyone else, I will be using Lee for all my car services from now on!"

"Really good service and very competitive pricing. Provided detailed videos of everything which is really helpful and leaves you feeling that everything is being taken care of and done to a high standard. Seem like a good bunch of lads that are honest with you, which is all you want from a mechanic. First time using LDR and i 100% will be using them again."

"Absolutely top service, from start to finish. So thorough; above and beyond. As a woman booking in my car for a service, I’ve had bad experiences going to garages, but I felt totally relaxed and comfortable and I didn’t have to question anything. This is my new car care garage for life!"
