Brake Rotor Refinishing
Brake Rotor Refinishing starting at $20 per rotor. Price varies depending on size of rotor or drum. Does not include labor required to remove and install.
Brake Rotor Refinishing
Brake rotor refinishing is a process used to restore the smooth surface of your vehicle’s brake rotors. Over time, rotors can develop grooves, uneven wear, or surface rust due to regular use. Refinishing involves machining the rotor surface to remove these imperfections, ensuring a flat, even surface for the brake pads to contact.
When is Refinishing Recommended?
If the rotor thickness remains within manufacturer specifications
When rotors exhibit minor surface defects like scoring or glazing
To eliminate vibration or pulsation felt during braking
Benefits of Refinishing:
Improves braking performance and reduces noise
Extends the life of existing rotors
More cost-effective than full rotor replacement if done early
Limitations:
Rotors that are too thin or deeply damaged must be replaced rather than refinished
Refinishing cannot fix warped rotors due to heat damage or cracks
Regular brake system maintenance and timely rotor refinishing can ensure optimal braking reliability and safety.
