Here are some common questions about brake repair and replacement.
Why do you use original brake parts?
BM Tech is dedicated to doing things right the first time. When it comes to brake repairs, we understand that using inferior or aftermarket parts may seem like a cost-effective solution in the short term, but it can end up costing you more in the long run. These parts often cause issues such as brake squeal and shudder, which can only be corrected by replacing them again.
We put your safety and satisfaction first, that’s why we only use original parts and components when performing brake repairs or replacements on your BMW Mini. Trust us to prioritise your safety, performance and satisfaction by taking care of your brake repairs properly for long-term savings and optimal performance.

How long should brake pads last?
The lifespan of brake pads can be a tricky thing, as it depends on a variety of factors such as your driving habits, the environment you drive in and how much you use your vehicle. On average, brake pads need to be replaced every 15,000 to 70,000 kilometers. But don’t worry, if you’re an easy-going driver who takes it slow and steady, your brake pads will last longer. However, if you’re a bit of a speed demon and love to hit the brakes hard, they might not last as long.
But the good news is, you can always extend the life of your brake pads by driving a bit more defensively and giving yourself plenty of time to slow down. And remember, regular inspections and timely replacements are key to keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape. So, don’t forget to take your BMW Mini for a check-up and let a professional mechanic give your brakes a good once over.
What causes shuddering and squeaking brakes?
Second rate parts. For optimal performance and safety, we only use authentic BMW Mini brake pads and discs instead of cheap options. They may cost more but they are made from high-quality materials and built to last – costing you less in the long run.
