Brake Inspection in Harlow

Brake Inspection by Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre

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

During a brake replacement at Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre, 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.

"I arrived on time, the site was presentable and staff friendly. My tyres were fitted promptly and the advertised price (very competitive!) invoiced and paid. So, all good really, just my tyre pressures were 39/42 instead of 36. Possibly an oversight, possibly the tyre inflator needs calibrating (I suspect the former as they were different) I will happily return for my next tyres, it’s a well run tyre shop and excellent value. Thanks Tony and your team. Edit: I changed this to a 5 star review because of the owners integrity (see his response) and the fact that we all make little mistakes but it takes an honest man to admit it. Thank you once again!"
