When you start, you’ve got to stop. It’s common sense, but it’s why your brakes have to be working perfectly.
Anything but that, is asking for an accident. If you can’t stop suddenly or slow down when you need to, you’re setting yourself up for problems.
An ABS light or brake light appearing on your dashboard, or a noise or juddering when breaking, all require urgent expert attention.
If you’re concerned about your car brakes in Northampton, you need to get them checked. Poor brakes are often the cause of avoidable accidents.
As a local, family-run garage, we’re committed to the safety of the community. We have been since the 1960s.
We only use high-quality equipment, premium parts and a team of skilled technicians to get the job done. For car brakes in Northampton and Towcester, there’s just one garage you need: Roade Main Garage.
Because all brakes are different, give us a call to find out more about our great pricing. If needed, we’ve got some fantastic payment plan options available to help you spread the cost.
Our comprehensive brake check is a thorough 10-step process that ensures your brakes are there for you when you need them:
Check performance of all brakes and brake balance on the rolling road
Check and adjust handbrake operation
Measure front brake pads for serviceability. Strip clean and refit as required

Brake fluid test and check. Top up brake fluid as required
Check brake calipers and wheel cylinders for serviceability
Check the condition of all brake hoses and hydraulic lines
Carry out a diagnostic scan of the ABS and Traction control system for historic and current fault code
Staff were very professional and accommodating considering I hadn't booked and needed a MOT. Was able to leave my car there, in the spacious clean environment, and pick it up after work. Price for the MOT was the same as anywhere but the service was priceless, I will certainly be using this garage in the future.
First class garage and thank you to Nathan for his superb customer service.
An amazing service and the staff was super kind and helpful and there was waiting room with snacks,drinks and toys for children.I would definitely recommend it.
Lovely waiting area, great biscuits
Having listened to faith with any JLR dealership I turned to Roade Main.
Human, great service, clarity on costs and options. Just very good people to deal with
First class service from start to finish, unexpected problem with the clutch over the weekend, dropped into you Sunday evening and returned to us Thursday, really helpful staff all round, thank you.
Very Friendly Staff, excellent service and good value for money
Got diverted off A5 due to an accident. Had to come through other villages that had flood water. Damaged my under car seals, drove straight to Roade Main Garage and they looked at my car. Fixed it all within 30 minutes free of charge. What an amazing garage to have on your doorstep. All the staff are amazing. I can not thank all the staff enough for what they did for me today. So a big. Thank... Read More

Always our go-to for service and repairs. Reasonably priced. Also super friendly and communicative staff.
Excellent service, MoT and repair carried out in good time scale and at a fair price. Staff at garage and on telephone very helpful and user friendly. Have used Roade Main garage on a number of occasions and would unreservedly recommend them for all car servicing, repairs etc.
Once again a very friendly professional service. Thankful for a good local garage that you can trust.
I have used Roade garage now on several occasions. In the time I have mainly dealt with Nathan and Lydia. The customer service and communication is really good and I will certainly continue to use.
First visit to Roade main garage for a brake fluid change, and I have been very impressed with the customer care, quality of work and the facilities. A lot of main dealer could learn a thing or two. Would recommend to fellow Mini owners to use them. Additionally they are very competitively priced to a Mini dealer and have the OE equipment for service history. Looking forward to my next visit....

Brilliant
Used road main garage to diagnose an oil leak on my land rover Freelander. Everybody I spoke to was very informative and helpful. They took the time to explain the fault and give me options that were in my best interest rather than most garages trying to just get your money! They have alot of knowledge when it comes to Landrovers and are very honest. Will be using again in the future
honestly the best experience i have EVER had at a garage.
being a woman, it is quite daunting going to a “predominantly male” place however i was greeted with some of the most lovely people. they explained everything simply and didn’t make me feel inferior for not understanding specifics- they managed to get me in quickly and did a full safety check on my car before discussing the...
