Car Brakes - Angel, Islington

Brakes are the most safety-critical system on your vehicle. When they need attention, prompt action isn’t optional and the quality of the work matters enormously. At Brownings Garage, brake repairs are carried out properly, using the right parts for the vehicle and the right approach for the fault.

We work on brake systems across a wide range of makes and models, with particular experience on VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche, and Mercedes – including the more complex brake configurations found on performance and EV variants.

Signs your brakes need attention:

• Squealing, grinding, or scraping when braking
• The vehicle pulling to one side under braking
• A spongy or soft brake pedal
• Longer stopping distances than usual
• The brake warning light showing on the dashboard
• Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel when braking

• Brake pad and disc replacement
• Brake fluid change and bleeding
• Caliper repair and replacement
• Handbrake adjustment and repair
• Brake hose inspection and replacement
• Electronic parking brake service and repair
• Regenerative braking system faults on EVs and hybrids
