Brake Disc Machining

[Darren]

Hey Guys,
There was a bloke that drives around in a van doing brake machining, I just rang a bloke out of the Yellowpages and to my fright wanted $125, last time I had the VN done I seem to recall it costing around the $30 - $40 mark.

Anyone that services the eastern suburbs in Adelaide would be great.

Thanks


Cheers
Darren

Big tip - if you have 20 minutes up your sleeve take the rotors off yourself and take them into a brake place. I was quoted over $170 drive in drive out for two rear rotors machined - I took them off myself and walked in to a busy place and they charged me $22 per rotor with no booking

I wrote a guide in the how-to section on removing them if it helps

where are you situated and what car are they off?
if your near me you can bring em to me ill do em both for $30.
that is if there not undersize

I'm out at Magill or Kent Town, they are off a VY (front stockies)

I reckon I may as well get them off myself, I've been meaning to check the pads so whilst the rotors are off it might be a good time.

As for the how-to I'll be sure to take a look

Piece of piss Darren.. Ring any mechanic and tell them you've taken them off yourself and ask them if they do it for $30 cash.

The fact that you've taken them off yourself signals to the mechanic that you're not stupid. Most mechanics will just say yes..
