Brake Rotors/Discs Replacement Service

What is the Brake Rotor/Disc all about?

A brake rotor is a smooth metal disc attached to the wheel hub. Most new cars (1999 and above) come with rotors at each wheel. Older cars may have drums instead of rotors at the rear wheels . Brake rotors play an important part in the braking system. It is the friction between brake pads and rotors that cause your car to slow down and stop. We recommend getting new rotors every time you replace your brake pads As the rotors wear out become thin or warped, they are unable to dissipate the heat caused by the braking system. This will cause the brake fluid to boil and reduce the effectiveness of the brake system significantly.

Brake rotors are replaced in pairs. If you choose front brake rotors, both front wheels will get new rotors. This service comes with brake pads. Unless brake pads were replaced recently, pads must be replaced while replacing the rotors.

The lifespan of brake rotors/discs

Ensuring your vehicle remains safe on the road involves more than just cautious driving—it requires regular maintenance of essential components like brakes. The lifespan of your brake rotors is influenced by various factors, including the vehicle's maintenance schedule. Strict adherence to your vehicle's servicing schedule can significantly extend the functionality and longevity of your brake system.

Vehicle maintenance schedules and how they relate to brake health

Maintenance schedules, outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual, serve as a guide for optimal upkeep including the brake system. Regular checks, as part of these schedules, ensure that your brake pads and rotors are inspected and replaced before performance is compromised.

How our mobile mechanics replace brake rotors

  • Measure the thickness of brake rotors: The first step in the brake rotor replacement process is to measure the existing rotors' thickness. This is done to confirm that they are below the manufacturer's minimum specification and need replacing.
  • Remove and replace rotors and pads: Once it is determined that the brake rotors require replacement, the wheels are removed, and the caliper assembly is detached from the rotor. Then, the old brake rotors are removed from the wheel hub. If the brake pads show significant wear, they are replaced along with the rotors. This ensures a renewed braking surface and optimal performance.
  • Perform a brake safety inspection: With the rotors and pads removed, it's an opportune time to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire brake system. This includes checking the brake calipers, caliper mounting brackets, brake lines, and other related components for wear or damage.
  • Perform test drive: After the new rotors and pads are installed, and the vehicle is reassembled, a professional technician will perform a test drive. This step is crucial to ensure that the brakes are functioning correctly and to confirm there are no unusual noises or vibrations, which could indicate that additional adjustments are needed.

Why professional service is recommended for a vehicle's brake system

Our professional mobile mechanics bring a level of expertise and precision to brake replacement. The intricacies of the brake system require a thorough understanding that only comes with experience and training. Our mobile technicians have access to advanced tools, diagnostic equipment, and quality parts that ensure the job is done efficiently and accurately.

Professional service also reduces the risk of brake failure, which is crucial for your safety and that of other road users. Considering the importance of a well-functioning brake system, opting for professional service is often the best choice for long-term performance and reliability.

Symptoms and signs of worn brake rotors

If you’re hearing unusual sounds or feeling vibrations when you apply the brakes, it might be time to inspect your vehicle's brake rotors. Recognizing the symptoms of worn brake rotors is crucial for maintaining your car's safety and performance. Below are common indicators that your brake rotors may need attention.

How to identify the signs of rotor wear and the potential risks

  • Vibration or pulsation: When you apply the brakes, you may feel a vibration or pulsing through the brake pedal or steering wheel. This often indicates an uneven rotor surface.
  • Strange sounds: A telltale sign of rotor wear is a squealing or grinding noise during braking. These sounds could suggest that your rotors are worn or damaged.
  • Visual inspection: If you look at your rotors through the wheel spokes, you may notice grooves, score marks, or a glazed appearance. These visual cues often mean the rotors are worn beyond their service limit.

The impacts on vehicle control and wheel performance

Worn brake rotors can significantly impact your vehicle's control and performance.

Here are some potential issues:

  • Reduced stopping power: As the rotors wear down, your vehicle may take longer to stop, especially during high-speed braking or in wet conditions.
  • Brake fade: Overheating of the brake system due to rotor wear can lead to a reduction in brake responsiveness, known as brake fade.
  • Uneven wear on brake pads: Worn rotors can cause uneven wear on your brake pads, necessitating more frequent replacements and potential additional expenses.

Being aware of these signs can help you act swiftly to address any rotor issues before they lead to more serious problems or safety concerns.

The impacts on vehicle control and wheel performance

All services associated with proper function of your brakes are important. In addition to safety issues, ignoring small repairs can quickly lead to more serious (and more expensive) problems.
