Our MasterFit centres provide a one-stop shop for all your car maintenance needs. From servicing to tyres, our technicians will provide great value expertise, with up front quotes and no hidden extras.
Every vehicle that passes through our workshop will undergo a Free Visual Health Check - a comprehensive visual inspection of the key functions of your Vauxhall to ensure its safety on the road; it includes brakes, steering and tyres.
Routine maintenance is vital to the safety and long-term reliability of your Vauxhall. It will help protect your car against breakdown and unnecessary repairs and will enhance the resale value.
We work to competitive menu pricing, so what we quote is what you pay. Not just for servicing but also wear and tear parts like exhausts, brakes and tyres.
All servicing is carried out in line with manufacturer’s recommendations, but for vehicles over four years old, we do offer the option of our budget-priced service plans – click the link above.

BRAKES
The braking system of your car is a key safety feature – brakes are the sole component enabling you to quickly slow down or stop your car. The braking system has to be able to endure enormous forces, pressures and strains put on it day in, day out. But have you ever stopped to think about what it actually takes for the brakes to stop your car?
What happens when I apply the Brakes?
When your foot presses the brake pedal, this movement is converted into hydraulic pressure. This pressure is transferred to the wheels via an incompressible liquid (brake fluid). The pressure actuates a calliper which forces the pads against the disc. During braking the kinetic energy is changed into heat through friction. The temperatures can reach up to 800oC so the brake pads and discs must be able to withstand and dissipate the heat.
If the pads are worn or faulty there is a risk that the brake disc will be damaged. You also risk losing control of the car following hard braking.
The tell-tale signs there is a problem with your brakes:
You have to press hard on the brake pedal to brake
This may be a problem with the assisted braking system.
The car pulls to the left or right when you brake
It may be that a brake calliper has seized or that a tyre is under inflated.
The brakes lock up even when the brakes are applied gently
This may be a problem with the brake discs.
Braking is soft, the pedal is spongy or you have to pump the brakes to stop
This is a problem with the hydraulics.
The brake pedal, steering wheel and sometimes the car vibrates when braking
The brake discs may be faulty or loose or there may be excessive play in the suspension.
If you are in any doubt, call in at Masterfit at Broad Green or telephone them on 01933 445000 or call our Workshop in St John’s Street on 01933 443403.
