About this service

Done right, not rushed: how we handle rotors

Rotors are the discs your brake pads clamp onto. They need a perfectly clean, flat surface to sit on — even a thin layer of rust on the hub can cause runout, vibration and pedal pulsation. That’s why we clean the hub face down to bare metal before every new rotor goes on. Installing new rotors on a dirty hub just brings the problem right back.

Signs you need it

  • Steering wheel shakes when braking
  • Pulsing or vibrating brake pedal
  • Deep grooves or a raised lip on the rotor
  • Heavy rust or blue heat spots
  • Grinding from worn-out pads
