Brake service
Brake checks should be based on real wear, not guesswork
Don't put off brake repairs. Squeaking, vibration, metal noise, a soft pedal or longer stopping distance are good reasons to book a check.
Autoservis 1 checks discs, pads, drum brakes, visible leaks and brake fluid condition. If replacement is needed, we explain why and agree the work first.
Before-and-after brake photos help show what was repaired, why it mattered and how it affects safety.
When to check brakes
- squeaking, grinding or metal noise while braking
- vibration in the steering wheel or pedal
- longer stopping distance or soft pedal
- brake check before Czech STK or a long trip
How brake service works
- we ask about symptoms and inspect the brake condition
- we assess pads, discs or drum brakes
- we explain safety-critical issues and recommendations
- we start after the price and work have been approved
Waiting too long can make brake repairs more expensive
The workshop is useful for drivers from Červený Újezd, Unhošť, Prague-West, Hostivice, Rudná, Kladno, Jeneč and Zličín. The address at Unhošťská 92 makes routine checks easier without driving into central Prague.
Timely replacement of worn parts can protect other components. Delaying brake service can make the repair more expensive and the car less safe.
What to include in a brake service enquiry
Write whether the brakes squeak, vibrate, grind, pull the car to one side or feel weaker than usual. If you can, mention which axle seems affected and whether the issue appears always or only at higher speed.
Indicative prices
Parts prices (pads, discs, fluid) vary by car, so we confirm them in advance. All items are in the price list. We're not VAT-registered, prices are final.
FAQ about brake service
My brakes are grinding or squealing — what does it mean?
Most often it is worn pads, corroded discs after longer parking, or a sticking caliper. Do not leave it too long — a brake and chassis check costs CZK 500 and any work needed is agreed in advance.
How do I know brakes are bad?
Common signs are squeaking, vibration, grinding, longer stopping distance, soft pedal or dashboard warnings.
Do discs and pads always need replacing together?
Not always. It depends on their condition and manufacturer guidance. After the check, we explain what is necessary and what is only recommended.
Is brake service useful before STK?
Yes, brakes are important for both safety and technical inspection.
