SecretServiceTM for Your VW Golf

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 Golf 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 WV Golf Brake Pads Last?

Your VW Golf 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. 

 

When Would I Need To Replace Rear Brake Pads On My VW Golf?

Your brake pads work by rubbing against the discs. The friction created by this will wear down the material over time. Once your brake pad thickness reaches 3mm, it is recommended that you replace the pads.

Brand new brake pads are around 10 to 12 millimetres in thickness; this is the ideal size for your new VW Golf brake pads.

 

What Does the Brake Pad Warning Light Look Like On a VW Golf?

The brake pad warning light is on the dashboard of your VW Golf. The symbol of the light is a circle, surrounded by what looks like rounded brackets. Sometimes there is an exclamation point inside the circle. Here is an example:

 

How Do You Check Brake Pads On a VW Golf?

You can check your brake pads on your VW Golf by conducting a simple visual inspection. You will need to jack your vehicle and remove one of the front wheels – use wheel blocks for your safety. There is an inspection hole on the dust shield so you can view your brake pads. If the pads look thinner than 3 mm, you should have them changed.

For reference, brand-new brake pads are around 10 – 12 mm thick. Never conduct this check immediately after driving your VW Golf – the brake callipers will be hot, so be sure to allow them to cool.
