In-House Brake Disc Skimming

Juddering or vibrating brakes? We skim discs on our own lathe while you wait – R450 for a front set, R350 for a rear set.

All makes welcomeTypical time: While you waitR450/h labour

R450 front set · R350 rear set

A steering-wheel shudder or pedal pulse under braking usually means the discs have run out of true or worn unevenly. If there is enough thickness left, skimming restores a flat, true braking surface for a fraction of the price of new discs.

We skim in-house on our own brake lathe, so there is no waiting for an outside machine shop. Every disc is measured against its minimum thickness first – if it is too thin to skim safely, we tell you and quote new discs instead.

What’s included

  • Discs measured against minimum thickness
  • Skimmed on our in-house brake lathe
  • Front set R450 · rear set R350
  • Pads & callipers checked while the wheels are off
  • Road test after fitting

If the discs are still thick enough, skimming fixes the shudder for R450 a front set or R350 a rear set – done in-house while you wait. We measure first and tell you if they need replacing instead.
