Eastside Volkswagen is your Willoughby Hills, Ohio destination for routine Volkswagen care as well as more serious repairs. When you need to tackle less common routine maintenance tasks, such as Volkswagen brake rotor resurfacing, we are here to help with certified service. We are determined to keep your braking system functioning at top performance with all advanced safety features in full operation.
The resurfacing process for Volkswagen brake rotors is designed to keep your car braking smoothly for as long as possible before a full rotor replacement is necessary. In the resurfacing process, our certified technicians use a brake lathe to shave a small layer off of the existing rotor surface and create a smooth rotor for the brake pad to press down on. As the surface is peeled away, surface-level issues, such as rust, are removed and any imperfections like pits are neutralized.
Based on their location and the heat generated when braking, it is possible for your rotors to develop rust spots from moisture and contact with other parts, and pits can be caused when debris is pressed between the rotor and pad. This limits the surface area between the rotor and brake pad and reduces your braking power. Rotor issues can also reduce the lifespan or mileage of your brake pads.
Volkswagen brake rotor resurfacing is typically possible, but sometimes you may need a replacement. This is determined based on the thickness of the rotor as it must meet a minimum level to operate safely. When the surface has been shaved too many times or was not originally manufactured with excess material, a replacement is necessary.
Always defer to your Volkswagen maintenance guide for best practices for your braking system. This includes brake pad care and rotor and caliper maintenance. We will review your brake rotors at the recommended twice-annual braking inspection. If the need for a replacement is identified, we can help immediately with resurfacing or replacement with an OEM offering. Resurfacing or replacement of rotors is generally needed by the 70,000-mile mark for many vehicles.
