My brakes have been squeeking for a few weeks now (had the car for 10k miles and don't know when they were done before that) so took it to Nationial tyres today for a brake check and they said the brakes have got lots of grip left on them. When im going around 80 and i put the brakes on the car feels like its not stopping like it should. They said the back brakes need pushed in a bit and the front pads cleaned and tighten the handbrake which they are charging £35 tomorrow for. Anyone no what the squeeking is and how to stop it or what they are doing tomorrow will stop it.

Lots of times squeeky brakes can be just down to dust in rear drums, or cheepy kwik fit pads LOL
Yup - according some of the receipts for my car the rear brakes were deglazed a couple of years ago to stop squealing
It had new discs and pads fitted all round yesterday
Just got a phone call from the garage saying that when they took the brakes off at the front they are only 4mm left and that will be why they are squeeking a bit and not as good as they used to be. Costing me £84 for hte 4 front brake pads fitted and back cleaned and handbrake tightened. Is that a reseanable price?
do it your self if your worried about the labour price... to be honest its not toobad....
£30 odd for the pads and about 50 labour is about right... not a big job only an hours worth...

Na its just a 1.5 s N16. Don't have any of the tools to do it myself. I would'nt have the patience for it as i would prob kick fuck out the car lol.
