Your brakes are the one system you cannot compromise on. Our Walsall workshop offers free brake inspections, and if anything needs replacing we will show you the worn parts, explain why, and quote fixed prices for quality-matched pads and discs before touching a spanner.
Listen out for grinding, squealing or a spongy pedal - brakes rarely fail without warning. Catching wear early usually means pads only, saving you discs and money.
Based in central Walsall, Marlows Tyre and Valeting looks after drivers across the Black Country. Choose your area to see local availability, or visit us at the depot - most jobs are finished within the hour.
Grinding metal-on-metal, a squeal at light braking, a pedal that feels spongy or sinks, or a car that pulls to one side under braking - all are red flags. Brakes rarely fail without warning, so catching the noise early usually means pads only instead of pads and discs.
We start with a free inspection, show you the measured pad and disc condition on your own car, and quote fixed all-inclusive prices before any work begins. Quality-matched parts are fitted with new hardware and the system is road-tested before you collect.
Typically 30,000 to 50,000 miles depending on driving style and conditions. Town driving around Walsall tends to wear pads faster.
Prices vary by vehicle, but we always quote fixed, all-inclusive prices upfront after a free inspection.
