How can you tell if your brake pads need replacing?
If the brake pads have worn out prematurely or if you are experiencing trouble under braking, it is advisable to seek the help of an expert to investigate the problem and, if necessary, replace the pads as soon as possible.
Driving with brakes that do not function properly can, of course, lead to dangerous situations on the road. You should always replace either both the front pads, both the rear pads or all the pads together to ensure balanced brakes.
At what percent should brakes be replaced?
Usually when brakes need attention you wouldn't replace 'brakes' but rather parts of the brakes (brake system), that have wear. For brake pads a technician may say that the brake pads need replacing when you still have 50% of the pads left. When they need replacing ultimately will depend on a number of factors including suggested service intervals for brake pads as stipulated by the vehicle manufacturer and legislation. If you have any concern about the condition of the brakes then book an inspection with a mechanic immediately to get the issue checked.
How much does it cost to fix brakes that are grinding in Oxfordshire?
If the brakes are grinding, or develop noises under braking, it could be that the brake discs are worn or damaged. Cost for a front brake discs and pads replacement is on average £185, with pricing ranging from around £130 to £375. A rear brake discs pads replacement cost varies from £125 to £350, with an average of £175. Ultimately, cost depends on your location, car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement.
How do I know which brakes need to be replaced?
If you suspect there is any issue with your brakes or are concerns about the age or condition of its components, book an inspection with a professional mechanic immediate effect. Driving with bad brakes can impair brake performance and safety, and can be a major safety hazard.
Are worn brake pads an MOT failure?

Was initially a little concerned when they rang to say more work would need to be done as I'm a young female and am always concerned about garages trying it on. When I mentioned checking the suggested extra work over, they were supportive about that and provided a very thorough video of the problems so that both I and my family who live at the other side of the country could review it. During the initial call he provided a very rough estimate of the costs for parts and was up front about needing to check before finalising a price. My boyfriend's comments upon seeing the video was "Oh God I didn't realise it was as bad as that, yeah you absolutely need to get all that done" and to be totally fair a couple of things had been noted on my service as things to keep an eye on but I thought weren't quite as problematic. When he called back with a quote for the extra parts and labour, it was an exceptionally fair price and was at the lower end of what I'd seen estimated and well within what my dad said I could reasonably expect to pay.
When they dropped off my car they had a really helpful chat about what work they'd done and how to drive better to get things like my clutch to last longer. They also explained the likely cause of why my shock absorber had ultimately gone, and gave me a suitable caution about braking whilst my new discs broke in.
I'm really glad to have found such a good garage and will be returning!”
