When to Get Brake Rotor Resurfacing

When to Get Brake Rotor Resurfacing

Your vehicle's braking system is a necessary component when it comes to safety and control on the road. Among the key elements of the brake system are the brake rotors. Over time, these rotors can wear down due to friction and heat, compromising their performance and potentially posing a risk to your safety. That's when rotor resurfacing comes into play.    Understanding the Brake Rotor Before we dive into the importance of rotor resurfacing, let's first grasp the function of the brake rotor. The rotor, also referred to as the brake disc, is a flat, circular metal component that attaches to your vehicle's wheel hub. When you apply the brakes, the brake pads press on the rotors, creating the friction to slow down or stop your vehicle. Due to this constant contact and immense heat generated, the rotors can develop uneven surfaces, known as "warped" or "scored" rotors ... read more
