OCDS Brake Specialists

On-Car Disc Skimming in Garsfontein

Garsfontein customers can book OCDS mobile on-car disc skimming at a suitable home or workplace. We inspect and measure the braking surfaces before resurfacing because not every worn or damaged disc is safe to skim.

Brake shudder diagnosis and disc resurfacing

Garsfontein customers can book OCDS mobile on-car disc skimming at a suitable home or workplace. We inspect and measure the braking surfaces before resurfacing because not every worn or damaged disc is safe to skim.

Brake vibration in Garsfontein traffic may be felt through the steering wheel, pedal or body of the vehicle. These symptoms can have several causes, so our process starts with an inspection rather than assuming that disc skimming is always the correct repair.

Symptoms we assess

  • Steering-wheel vibration while braking
  • Pulsation through the brake pedal
  • Uneven braking after a pad change
  • Visible scoring or uneven disc wear

How the service works

01

Inspect and measure

We assess the symptoms, disc surfaces, pads and available disc thickness. Unsafe or unsuitable discs are not machined.

02

Resurface on the vehicle

Suitable discs are machined in their fitted position to correct the working relationship between disc and hub.

03

Verify the result

The braking system is checked after machining and the technician explains any bedding-in or follow-up requirements.

Mobile or workshop service?

Mobile service is convenient when the vehicle is parked on a firm, level surface with sufficient working space. The Wonderboom South workshop is the better choice when a broader diagnosis, additional mechanical work or controlled workshop conditions are needed.

Contact OCDS with your vehicle details and symptoms. We will confirm availability and advise which option is appropriate.

Before booking

  • Vehicle make, model and year
  • Your suburb and preferred date
