Brake Care Tips from BSW Autohouse
Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. Here's how to look after them:
Have your brakes checked twice a year
Regular inspections help catch wear or damage early, keeping you and your passengers safe and avoiding costly repairs.
Don’t wait until they fail
If you’ve ever lost braking power, you know how dangerous it feels. Catch issues early with a free brake check at BSW.
Replace brake pads before they wear out fully
Worn pads can damage your brake discs. Changing them early saves you money in the long run, and we’ll check them for free.
Pay attention to warning signs
Squealing, grinding, vibrations or a soft pedal are all signs your brakes need attention. Don’t ignore them.
Brake disc damage can be prevented
By changing brake pads in time, you often avoid having to replace the discs which can be much more expensive.

Got 2 flat tires on our rental car on our way through Northern Ireland. BSW helped us very quickly and professionally so we could continue our roadtrip. Thank you very much!

Arrived in Newcastle from Donegal for a weekend of hiking. I developed problems with my clutch and was very concerned if I would be able to get home. These guys were my 3rd contact (1st refused to help and 2nd let me down as well). Guy here (didn’t get his name) had a look at and gave me his opinion on the problem. Reassured me and gave me advice on what to do if having issues on way home. Also offered to fix but it would have meant having to stay to extend my stay in Newcastle. Very appreciative of his help.
