SecretServiceTM For Your Vauxhall Astra

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 Vauxhall Astra 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 Vauxhall Astra Brake Pads Last?

Your Vauxhall Astra brake pads will last anywhere up to 50,000 miles. If you use the brakes aggressively or use them more frequently than necessary, you could find yourself needing to replace your brake pads before you rack up 50,000 miles.

Pay attention to where you are braking unneeded or slightly too aggressively to try to extend the lifespan of your brake pads. 

 

Do I Need to Replace Front and Rear Brake Pads at the Same Time?

Not necessarily, no. Your front brakes do much more work than your rear brakes; 70% of your braking power comes from the front brakes. Your rear brakes are mostly used in stop-and-start traffic, and when navigating down steep hills, so you'll probably find that your front brakes pads need replacing sooner than your rear brake pads. 

 

When Would I Need To Replace Rear Brake And Discs On My Vauxhall Astra?

The brake discs, although do experience wear and tear, they are much more resilient than your brake pads and need replacing between 80,000 and 120,000 miles, whereas your pads need to be changed every 50,000 miles.

You'll know your brake discs are worn if your brake pedal seems less responsive than usual, you can hear grinding or if you believe that your brake disc is warped.
