Van Brakes – Wigan

Every time the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads are pushed against the brake disc which makes your van slow down.

So if you think about how many times you press the brake pedal, you can imagine how brake pads come to wear out. In general, brake pads can be expected to last between 25,000 and 60,000 miles. Of course, that will depend very much on how the vehicle is driven. Sudden braking and frequent slamming on the brakes will wear the brake pads out quickly, and the weight of your van can also affect your brake pads – the heavier the vehicle is, the more pressure on the brake pads.

The Van Mechanics can carry out a full inspection of your van brakes at our workshop in Wigan. We’ll replace any worn or faulty parts with quality components to keep your brakes working efficiently and you, safe on the road.
