Where to Get Rotors Resurfaced Around Here?

Maintenance and Repairs
1

I’ve been having some trouble with my brakes lately and I’ve heard that resurfacing the rotors might be a good option instead of replacing them. I’m looking for recommendations on where to get this done locally.

Questions I’m hoping to get answers to:

  • Local Shops: Are there any trusted mechanics or auto parts stores in the area that offer rotor resurfacing?
  • Cost Estimates: What should I expect to pay for the service?
  • Process and Time: How long does it usually take to get the rotors resurfaced? I’m in need of my car back quickly.
  • Alternatives: Are there alternatives to resurfacing that I should consider?

Any personal experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve had great experiences at Joe’s Auto Repair! They do a fantastic job on rotors and offer fast service. Highly recommend them!

I second that! Joe’s is the best. They even had a loaner car for me while they worked on my rotors. Super convenient!

If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, check out Sam’s Garage. They might not have the highest ratings, but they did a decent job on my rotors.

5

Isn’t Sam’s known for long wait times though? I’d be cautious about that.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Sam’s. They did okay on my brakes, but the service was slow. Wouldn’t recommend them for urgent repairs!

For quality work, I’d suggest McCarthy’s Automotive. They resurfaced my rotors and it was smooth sailing afterward. Fair prices, too!

I love McCarthy’s! The staff is super friendly, and their turnaround time is impressive!

Just a heads up, some shops charge extra for resurfacing if the rotors are too warped. Always ask about that upfront!

That’s a great point! It’s good to be informed. Did anyone try the new place downtown?

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard good things about the new shop! They offer a warranty on their resurfacing work, which is a plus.

A warranty sounds fantastic! Do they have good reviews online?

I always feel nervous trying new places. You never know what you’ll get! But it sounds promising.

You’re right! It can be hit or miss. At least we have plenty of recommendations to choose from here.

Hey, if all else fails, we can always resort to old-school methods… Get some sandpaper and DIY! Just kidding, don’t try that at home.

If you’re looking to get your rotors resurfaced, typically it can cost anywhere from $40 to $100 per pair, depending on the shop. Factors like rotor thickness and location play a role too!

That’s solid info! Also, don’t forget to check if they offer any package deals with brake pad replacements, that could save you some cash.

I recently had my rotors resurfaced for about $60 at a local shop. They were super reliable, so I would recommend calling around for quotes. Sometimes shops run promotions too!
