Brakes Croydon, Surrey

It is important to make sure your brakes are working correctly at all times. There are a few things to look out for when using your brakes to tell if they need replacing. Our Croydon and Surrey based garages can help determine all issues with your braking system.

• Grinding noise when you apply the brakes
• Pulling to the left or right
• Pulsing through the pedal

Grinding noises usually is a sign of the brake pads being worn and need replacing along with damaged brake discs. Pulling to one side is a sign that a hydraulic component or mechanical component is seized or sticking. A pulsating feel is normally associated with a distorted brake disc or drum.

For your own and others safety, it's vital to have your vehicle checked over as soon as possible when you come across any of the above problems.

Alloy Wheel Repairs

Our fully equipped workshops can carry out a range of alloy wheel repairs. Just pop in and see us or call to arrange to have your vehicle collected if needs be.

• For alloy wheel repairs we will remove the whole wheel from the vehicle and deflate the tyre
• We then remove the tyre using specialist machines
• Any damage is then repaired using the most suited techniques
• To prevent corrosion the alloy is primed and heated under infrared lighting
• The primer is flattened to create a smooth finish
• Colour match paint is then applied
• Lacquer is then applied to the wheel and heated until dry
• Finally the tyre is re inflated and re fitted to the vehicle

We will always carry out a final inspection, the process is then complete and your vehicle is ready to drive. Payment is made on inspection of work. If your alloys cannot be repaired for any reason, we will not charge you.

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Technology today makes it possible for various forms of alloy wheel refurbishment, such as bolted wheels and split rim wheels to undergo previously restricted repair work. Due to the improved service we can provide, more vehicle owners are routinely undergoing alloy wheel refurbishment for their vehicle. This not only keeps them looking pristine, but also adds to the value of your vehicle.

We are now also able to colour code a lot more effectively than before. Colour coding is the basic process of matching the vehicles bodywork paint to the alloy wheel. Using advanced systems we can effectively match bodywork colours and provide unique colour coding options.
