Feeling kind of ripped off ?
Need some opinions. I took my new to us 07 suburban to try out a new mechanic my friend works for , and the bill came to 340. All he did was put new pads on my E brake,and cut my front rotors. He did ...

Resurfacing rotors is a waste of money. For the same price you can buy new ones, premium ones for slightly more. There was also a study out that showed greatly decreased braking performance with turned rotors vs new.
yep, each time you remove material from the rotor, it is capable of holding less btu's. On our race car, rotors are always tossed, never turned.
How much material do you think is being turned off. Unless the rotors are warped. It is literally microns. A measurement so small, you can't see it.
My rotors are skimmed every time the pads are changed. It is part of a good brake job. The pads like it better.
LOL, microns, that's funny. :S
Look in the bottom of a brake lathe and see if you see dust or chips.
Last time mine were done it was dust. I could see it as it was being skimmed. No chips. AND BTW. I deal with microns every day. IF you look at a .5 micron gage from the side. You cannot see it. As I say. IF the rotors are NOT warped. The material removed is so small you can't see it.
