The cost of having your brakes fitted by a mobile mechanic depends mainly on whether you need new pads only or new pads and discs, as well as your make and model and the parts used.
Brake job | Typical UK cost per axle (parts and labour) |
|---|---|
Brake pad replacement | £100 to £300 |
Brake pads and discs replacement | £200 to £500 |
Typical UK costs based on published industry estimates as of 6th October 2026. Prices are representative figures only as costs vary depending on your make and model, the parts used and your chosen mobile mechanic. Enter your reg and postcode to compare mobile mechanics near you for your exact car.
Brake pads should always be replaced in pairs, either both front pads or both rear pads, which is why prices are shown per axle.
Mobile mechanics can carry out common brake jobs at your home or work, including:
Brake pad replacement
Brake disc replacement
Your mobile mechanic will come to you at home or work, so you don’t have to drive to a garage on worn brakes. They’ll just need a safe space with enough room to work on your car, such as your driveway.
Get your brakes looked at as soon as possible if you notice any of the following:
A squealing or screeching noise when you brake
A grinding sound
Longer stopping distances
Vibrations through the brake pedal
Worn brake pads can also fail an MOT. Pads worn down to the wear indicator are a major fault, while pads worn below 1.5mm are a dangerous fault.
