With services available to local customers in Chipping Norton and the surrounding Oxfordshire area, we are on hand to deliver the services you need at exactly the right price. Because the braking and transmission systems are in constant movement, component wear is to be expected, especially with pads, discs, shoes and clutch plates.

Chadlington Car & Commercial only uses reliable parts for brake and clutch replacement work. Services come with a welcome 12-month or 12,000-mile workmanship guarantee and a manufacturer warranty on the components.

Common signs of brake wear include:

  • Squeaking or squealing noises when applying the brakes
  • Grinding noises when the pads press against the discs
  • Noticeable vibrations in the steering column when driving
  • Increased braking distances and taking longer to stop
  • Appearance of a brake light indicator on the dashboard
  • Pads, discs and shoes showing signs of wear on inspection

Should you encounter any of the issues mentioned above, come along to our workshop and ask our technicians to perform a responsive braking inspection.

Common signs of clutch wear include:

  • A spongy, sticky feel underfoot when pressing the clutch pedal
  • Squeaking or grumbling sounds when activating the clutch
  • Revving from the engine but no major change in acceleration
  • Difficulty in shifting the transmission from one gear to another
  • A slipping clutch causing a temporary slowdown in acceleration

Any of these could be clear indications that you need to book in with us for a clutch replacement. Worn clutches can cause damage to gearboxes and a prompt response to signs of wear can help to reduce your repair costs.

Brake Replacement

Our brake replacement service in Chipping Norton and Oxfordshire sees our technical team swapping out old pads for new if the lining has worn down to 3mm or below. We inspect the rotors for wear, check brake fluid levels, clean the lines and check the condition of discs, shoes, calipers and cylinders. Cars with ABS braking systems undergo diagnostic checks for stored fault codes.

Any issues found will be noted, and we can also address any issues with other hardware, including the handbrake, to guarantee a safer braking system.


Clutch Replacement

Because a clutch replacement requires us to work in hard-to-reach areas of a vehicle, we position your car in an inclined position – often on a ramp – so that our technicians can access the transmission system. Our technicians will disassemble the clutch and all related components to perform a full visual inspection and recommend the replacement of any worn parts found.

Our customers in Chadlington, Chipping Norton and Oxfordshire can choose to have an original or aftermarket clutch fitted based on expected spend. We tend to be more flexible with part choices during a clutch replacement because of the retail prices associated with top-of-the-range components.
