SecretServiceTM for Your VW

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 VW 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 VW Brake Pads Last?

Your VW 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. 

 

What Does The Check Brake Pad Warning Light Mean?

VW’s have a light on the dashboard that indicates you need to check your brake pads. If you see this light illuminated on your dashboard, it is time to get your brake pads replaced. The way this works is by having a small sensor embedded within the brake pad material.

Once the pad has been worn down and is getting too thin, the sensor will come in contact with the rotor, completing the circuit to turn the light on.

 

Can You Drive With Worn-Out Brake Pads?

We don't recommend driving with worn-out brake pads. If you suspect that yours are worn, you should replace them as soon as possible.

Not only is it dangerous to keep driving with worn brake pads, it will also lead to an MOT failure. You also risk damaging other brake parts, causing a more expensive repair in the long run. As a result, we strongly recommend replacing your brake pads as soon as you notice that they're worn.

 

What Does a Worn Brake Pad Sound Like?

A worn brake pad generally makes a screeching, squealing or grinding noise. It is usually quite loud and persistent. If you one of these noises every time you brake, it is very likely the wear indicator is rubbing against the brake disc. This indicates that your brake pads have no friction material left and aren't slowing your car down efficiently.
