SecretServiceTM For BMW 1 Series

Exclusively through SecretService™ you can book your brake pad replacement at an official main dealer, for less than booking direct.

Main dealers offer premium quality, and we want to help every driver experience this, no matter what car you drive. We work with many of the leading UK dealerships, offering drivers exclusive deals on their unsold workshop slots. This way, your car gets the quality of care it deserves, and you get the best deal.

What's more, these prices are so low that dealerships don't want anyone else to know about them. That’s why SecretService™ is the perfect solution, for both dealers and drivers. We fill the workshop slots by offering lower prices, but we also keep the dealership's identity a secret until after you've completed the booking. This keeps their reputation intact. It works just like secret hotels!

 

Why Book a SecretServiceTM?

The official main dealers, or ‘franchised dealerships’, are the ‘gold standard’ of car maintenance. They are certified to sell new or used cars and maintain and repair vehicles as part of an ‘aftersales’ care program by manufacturers.

Simply put, the manufacturers trust dealerships to deliver high-quality brake pad replacements on all vehicles. They have manufacturer-trained technicians, use genuine (or equivalent) parts, and must adhere to the quality standards set by manufacturers to maintain their franchise status.

In addition, they generally specialise in one or two makes. This allows them to look after these cars to an even higher standard. These main dealers are the experts who know your vehicle best.

Exclusively through SecretService™, your car gets the quality it deserves, no matter its age, and you pay no more than you would at the independent garages in the area. Not only is the main dealer service the ‘gold standard’ of car maintenance, but SecretService™ also gives you exceptional value for money.

 

FAQs

 

 

How Long Do BMW 1 Series Brake Pads Last?

BMW of Warwick states that your 1 Series brakes should last as many as 70,000 miles. The average number of miles for brake pads is around the 50,000 mark. Of course, this varies from car to car - you may need them replaced sooner. It depends on how aggressively and frequently you use your brakes.

 

Why Would I Need To Replace Rear Brake Pads On A BMW 1 Series?

Your brake pads work on a friction system; the disc rubs against the pads which caused the pad to be worn away with use. once they reach a thickness of 3mm (brand new brake pads measure in between 10-12mm), you should think about replacing them.

Your BMW 1 Series has both front and back brake pads, but your front brakes actually do most of the work: 70% of your braking power occurs at the front of your car, so your front brake pads and going to wear down quicker than your back ones. 

 

Do I Need To Change Brake Pads And Discs At The Same Time?

Ideally, you should change your brake pads and discs at the same time. Like the pads, the discs are also worn away by friction, which could make them weak and cracked. Chances are if your pads have been worn down, so have your discs.

It is definitely the safest option to have the brake pads and discs on your BMW 1 Series changed at the same time.
