Precision Brake & Disc Service for SE1 Drivers
The heavy, stop-start traffic around Tower Bridge Road and the Old Kent Road puts a lot of strain on your brakes. Spotting a problem early doesn't just keep you safe—it saves you money by preventing damage to more expensive parts like your brake discs.
Is your car telling you something?
Common signs that your brakes need attention include:
- Grinding or Squealing: Usually a sign that your pads are worn down.
- A "Spongy" Pedal: If the pedal feels soft or sinks to the floor, you may have low fluid or a leak.
- Vibrations: If the steering wheel shudders when you slow down, your discs might be warped.
- Pulling to One Side: This often means your brakes are wearing unevenly.
- Dashboard Warning Light: If your brake light stays on, it’s time for a professional check.
Free Brake Safety Check

GJ Motors Customer Reviews
JV
Highly recommend GJ motors. Greg quickly found the problem with my car and sorted it out all within an hour for a very reasonable price. Thank you!
Hannah Kelly
Always take my car here for its MOT/service or for any issues. You won't find a nicer, more competent, or more honest garage around. Have always had my car sorted same day and for half the cost of more well-known mechanics!!
