Your brakes, steering, and suspension are your vehicle's most critical safety systems. The Autowiz carries out thorough inspections and quality repairs at your location — no workshop visit needed.
Your brakes, steering, and suspension are your vehicle's most critical safety systems. Worn or damaged components affect handling, stopping distances, tyre wear, and ride comfort — and are common WOF failure points. We carry out thorough inspections and quality repairs to restore safe, confident handling.
Whether it's squealing brakes, a pulling steering wheel, clunking noises over bumps, or uneven tyre wear, we'll diagnose the cause accurately and carry out the necessary repairs at your home or workplace.

These are some of the most common warning signs that your safety systems need inspection:
Squealing, grinding, or pulsating brakes
Squealing when braking usually indicates worn brake pads. Grinding suggests metal-on-metal contact, which means the pads are fully worn and the rotors may be damaged. Pulsating under braking often points to warped rotors. All three need prompt attention.
Vehicle pulling to one side
If your car pulls left or right when braking or driving in a straight line, it can indicate uneven brake wear, a seized caliper, or a steering or suspension alignment issue. This affects both safety and tyre wear.
Clunking, knocking, or rattling over bumps
Clunking or knocking sounds when going over bumps or turning are common signs of worn shock absorbers, struts, ball joints, or bushings. These components affect ride quality, handling, and tyre contact with the road.
Uneven tyre wear
Tyres that wear unevenly — more on one edge, or in patches — often indicate suspension or alignment problems. Left unchecked, this shortens tyre life and can affect handling and braking performance.
