Brake Inspection in Harlow

Brake Inspection by Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre

Whether your brakes are “spongy”, noisy, or simply taking too long to bring you to a safe stop, choose First Stop for a comprehensive brake service and replacement in Harlow that will keep you safe on the road at all times.

During a brake replacement at Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre, our highly trained technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to accurately assess and address any issues before installation, guaranteeing that your new brakes will be both responsive and reliable.

Even if you haven’t noticed any symptoms of underperforming brakes, remember that brake disks, drums, callipers, and pads are subject to continual wear and tear. Stay on top of preventative maintenance by scheduling brake servicing once a year or every 12,000 miles.

John Thompson - March 12, 2026

"I arrived on time, the site was presentable and staff friendly. My tyres were fitted promptly and the advertised price (very competitive!) invoiced and paid. So, all good really, just my tyre pressures were 39/42 instead of 36. Possibly an oversight, possibly the tyre inflator needs calibrating (I suspect the former as they were different) I will happily return for my next tyres, it’s a well run tyre shop and excellent value. Thanks Tony and your team. Edit: I changed this to a 5 star review because of the owners integrity (see his response) and the fact that we all make little mistakes but it takes an honest man to admit it. Thank you once again!"

"Had a front suspension spring replaced at Uncle Tom's yesterday. The staff there were friendly, polite and extremely professional. They took the time to show me the problem and explained clearly what needed to be done. The price was very reasonable too! Would definitely recommend this garage."
