Brake Rotor Resurfacing

Process for Resurfacing Mazda Brake Rotors

When you bring your Mazda in to have your rotors resurfaced, a small portion of the surface of your rotors will be removed. This is done using a brake lathe. The goal of the procedure is to remove any corrosion. Another key objective is to prevent any brake pad deposits from forming. After brake rotor resurfacing, your car or truck will stop much more smoothly and quickly every time you use your brakes.

Importance of Brake Rotor Resurfacing

Neglect brake rotor resurfacing and maintenance, and you’ll likely notice some problems at some point. You may find that your vehicle doesn’t respond to brake application as quickly as it did previously. You also might notice a feeling of vibration when you apply your brakes if your rotors are due for resurfacing or replacement. As the problem worsens, you might eventually experience cracks or warping in your rotors. These are the most important reasons you need to schedule resurfacing of your rotors when you’re due for this procedure.

Brake Rotor Replacement

As time goes on, your rotor surfaces will wear down to the point that you need to replace your rotors completely. If you neglect to replace your rotors when they have worn down excessively, you may experience numerous problems in your braking system. Your brake pads and calipers can experience damage if you continue to drive a vehicle that needs rotor replacement.
