SYMPTOMS OF A BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEM
Brake rotors are meant to have a perfectly flat surface that meets a perfectly flat brake pad. When brake pads and rotors meet each other with a perfect 180-degree angle, maximum surface area meets to provide you with maximum friction and resistance that ultimately translates into peak brake system performance. When the brake rotors have physical defects on the surface, friction and resistance decrease alongside your brake system’s performance.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms of a Brake Rotor problem, it is an excellent safety decision to schedule Brake Rotor Resurfacing Replacement Service:
- Unusual noises during brake operation
- Shimmy, shaking, or vibration while braking
- Vehicle requiring additional distance to stop
- Rotor surface is noticeably grooved or cracked
Will the Rotors need Resurfacing or Replacement?
The best way to know if your rotors will need resurfacing or replacement is with an inspection by a Certified Technician working in a Certified Service Center like at Tom Smith Chevrolet Buick GMC in Midland. Our team of Certified Technicians has extensive training and years of experience inspecting rotors to know the best way to restore peak brake system performance. They know that minor grooving or cracks can be fixed with resurfacing. However, if the rotors have deep grooves or warping, the only way to restore factory specifications is by replacing them with a genuine rotor from our Parts Department.
