It is important to properly maintain your vehicle and get any repairs that are needed to be done in a timely manner. This helps to ensure that your vehicle will last as long as it is designed to. One of the repairs that you may need on your vehicle at some point in time is either brake rotor resurfacing or brake rotor replacement services. If you are not familiar with this service, here is some information to help you familiarize yourself with it.
There are many reasons why you may need to have brake rotor resurfacing or replacement services. Rotors can wear unevenly, become warped from heat as they are used, get rusted, corroded, or become damaged when your brake pads are not replaced in a timely manner.
Rotor resurfacing involves sanding down the metal rotor to reveal a fresh, even, undamaged surface. However, in some cases, your rotors are too thin to resurface, either due to extreme damage, age, or previous resurfacing. If this is the case, the rotors will need to be replaced.
Unfortunately, there may not always be signs that your brake rotors need resurfacing or replacement. In most cases, you will bring your car in for squeaky or squealing brakes, thinking you need the brake pads replaced. When a mechanic is replacing the brakes, they will be able to visibly see your brake rotors. They will be able to tell if they are thin, uneven, rusted or otherwise damaged.
The brake pads or brake shoes grip the rotors on your car to bring the car to a full and complete stop in a timely manner. If your rotors are worn, uneven or damaged, the brake pads may have trouble gripping the rotor. This means that it may take your car longer to come to a full and complete stop. You may also hear grinding or feel vibrations as you attempt to bring your car to a stop.
