Disc Skimming Durbanville
Is your car making a strange sound or pulling to one side when braking? Your car’s discs may be worn down and in need of disc skimming. Uneven or worn brake discs are common, even if you regularly replace your car’s brake pads. Pressure, friction, and heat exposure eventually cause surface imperfections on brake discs, resulting in unevenness and affecting how your car’s brakes perform.
At SBS Brakes, we specialise in a range of brake services to improve your safety behind the wheel. Our disc skimming Durbanville service quickly and effectively restores your car’s brake discs – best of all, our disc skimming service is mobile, meaning we come to your location! It can be nerve-wracking to drive your car when the brakes don’t feel right. Our on-site services give you that extra peace of mind.
How Does Disc Skimming Work?
Our disc skimming Durbanville service typically takes 1 hour and 30 mins to complete, sometimes an extra 15 minutes if we’re working on the front and back brakes. As dedicated and skilled experts, we resurface your discs to achieve a smooth and parallel finish by removing surface imperfections without compromising tolerances. This means you can safely reuse your discs, as they are above the minimum thickness standard.
We believe in transparency and open communication. After carefully assessing your brake pads, our team will let you know if they are too worn to be safe and need to be replaced. If disc skimming is the next step, you can look forward to a smoother ride, improved safety, and the extended lifespan of your brake discs. Restoring the correct level of contact between your car’s brake discs and brake pads makes a big difference.
Signs Your Brake Discs Need Skimming
Does your steering wheel vibrate when braking? Does your brake pedal pulse, or do you hear grinding, squeaking, or squealing when you slow down? These may be indications that you may benefit from our disc skimming service in Durbanville. To be certain, we also look for visual indicators, like visible grooves or scoring on disc surfaces, blue shades of discolouration from heat, or rust rings from moisture.
We always recommend that you take action as soon as you notice a problem with your brake discs. A brake disc issue can quickly escalate, damaging your brake pads and affecting your ability to stop. Disc skimming is more cost-effective than replacing them, and you can count on SBS Brakes to get the job done properly.
