Our free brake check covers a visual inspection of all components in your car brake system. Our ATA-trained technicians look at brake pads, shoes, callipers, hoses, discs, and handbrake linkages.
If brake repairs are required, we'll let you know why, and we'll advise you of costs upfront.
Brakes4Life is a lifetime brake offer exclusive to Halfords Autocentres. It's quite simple - you pay for the first set of replacement brake pads, then the rest are free, forever. This goes for any car you buy in the future too.
If you need brake pads fitted for a new car, simply bring the car in to register for the lifetime replacement. Or you can transfer your lifetime brake replacements to the new owner when you sell your car.
We ask that you get any brake repairs carried out or parts replaced when necessary, and we recommend that you keep your car in safe, roadworthy condition. We also ask that you inform us when you change your car.
You don't need to have an annual check or service, although we recommend that you do.
