| Answer to: Resurface rotors: A waste of money? | 17Relevance | 4 years ago | nta98 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I resurfaced them on my camaro (2000), it was cheaper than buying new rotors & still got alot of life out of them. So, it depends. | |||||

| On modern cars, it’s usually more cost effective to replace with new rotors. But please get them done at an independent mechanic if you are not comfortable doing them yourself. Never go to a Toyota stealership for work that you have to pay for. | |||||
| Answer to: Do you need to resurface a rotor if no wobble? | 17Relevance | 4 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hopefully you mean "braking" That depends on what the rotors look like. Did you inspect them yourself? Have they been abused? Hard braking? Are they're gouged? Is there a bunch of brake material deposited on them? Are there pad prints from getting the rotors smoking hot and then standing on the brake? | |||||

| Justin Shepherd - Ya got me born in the early 80s and my Dad showed me how to work on his 70's Chevy's and up. Haven't really done anything serious to vehicles post 90s short of oil changes, water pumps, little stuff like that. I just hate doing stuff on the ground like brakes since I have a dirt lot and a very dusty neighborhood. Sand gets in everything if I work on it at home. Thank you that's what I always though if their was no wobble you were good to go. I think I'll go to the Muffler Shop I've used for many years and see if they can order Akebono Pads that Scotty always praises. They are the ones that did the rear brakes and never had an issue with them short of a bit of squeal till the pads wore in. | |||||

| Doc I had an 86 Trans Am that over 3 years I got screwed over on several mechanics. Scotty is a very rare breed unfortunately. The local Transmission Shop, this Dealership Service Department, and the Muffler Shop are the only 3 I trust after living in this town 38 Years. I bumped my fence one early AM putting a HUGE scratch down the entire side of the car, the Dealership was within 100 of the body shop so I went with them. To this day years later I still can't tell where the original paint ends and the new paint begins. I've tried so many mechanics it's to the point I try and stick with the ones I feel haven't completely reamed me over. I wish Scotty lived here back in the day, I would still own my Trans Am rather than cursing it every time I think of it. | |||||

| I've had break pads replaced plenty of times, and I've replaced enough when I was a teenager and 20 something to know I've never had rotors resurfaced or replaced when their was no wiggle or wobble when breaking. I've only had 1 set of rotors ever put in a vehicle, a 20 something year old C-10 that had ruts worn into it from the previous owners. My 2014 Altima with 79k had the rear breaks replaced last year, didn't need rotors or resurfacing. Front breaks now are worn down to 2.5mm and the dealer recommends resurfacing the rotors to prevent any wobble. ... | |||||

| Any good brand of rotor should be fine, you don't necessarily need to use OEM. Brake rotors are virtually all made in China now but the difference is in the materials specified and the company keeping close tabs on what the factory is doing, so you don't want to use some no-name white-box part. (I mostly use Brembo rotors, a European brand but they are made in China.) | |||||

| Should I resurface or replace front rotors with 55,000 miles, for a 2016 Mazda 6 (Trim-Touring)? | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | CoolHandLuke | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I just purchased a 2016 Mazda 6 with 55,000 miles and want to know if I need to change the front rotors. The front brake pads are down to 4MM and I plan on changing them immediately. Should I change the rotors as well OR should I have them resurfaced? It appears the front rotors are the OEM rotors from factory production. I've always been told that each time I change the front brake pads that I should also change the rotors, too. Not sure changing the rotors out is necessary so I wanted to ask. Thanks. Mike | |||||
