It pulls to one side when I brake

One front brake is doing more work than the other. Nine times in ten that is a sticking calliper or a seized slider on the lazy side, which also means that wheel runs hot and the pad on it is the thinner of the two.

We get the wheels off, measure both sides and show you the two numbers. A rebuild kit fixes a calliper that is only sticky; a pitted bore needs the unit. Pulling under braking is not an alignment problem, and anyone who sells you an alignment for it has not looked.

How we tell: The wheel on the pulling side is hot to the back of your hand after a drive.

Old parts back in the box

Whatever comes off your car is bagged with your registration on it and handed to you when you collect. It is the simplest proof that the part we charged you for was the part we changed.
