Brake health is critical for your safety and your vehicle's performance. Whether your car uses discs and pads on all wheels or a combination of discs in the front and drums and shoes in the rear, maintaining smooth, even braking surfaces is essential.
Why Do Brake Discs and Drums Need Attention?
Over time and with regular use, the surface of your brake discs (rotors) or drums can become uneven.
This can manifest as:
If you experience any of these issues, your discs or drums might be suffering from uneven wear, which is not only uncomfortable but can also compromise your stopping power.
Before jumping to the expense of a complete replacement, consider the effective and economical solution of brake skimming (also known as brake resurfacing).
What is Skimming?
Brake skimming is a precise process where our skilled CBS technicians carefully remove a thin layer of metal from the disc or drum surface. This process continues until the braking surface is perfectly even and smooth all around.
The Benefits of Choosing Skimming:
Cost-Effective: It allows you to save money by avoiding the purchase of a brand-new part.
Extends Component Life: It maximizes the lifespan of your existing brake discs and drums, provided they are still within the manufacturer's minimum thickness specifications.
Restored Performance: It eliminates unevenness, restoring smooth, quiet, and reliable braking.
