Diagnose
Brake vibration can come from discs, hubs, pads, calipers or suspension components. We start with the symptoms and an inspection.

Private Vehicles Disc Skimming in Pretoria
Brake shudder on a daily-driven car or bakkie can make routine stopping uncomfortable and may indicate uneven disc wear or run-out. OCDS inspects the system, measures disc condition and resurfaces suitable discs on the vehicle.
Disc skimming for private vehicles
Brake shudder on a daily-driven car or bakkie can make routine stopping uncomfortable and may indicate uneven disc wear or run-out. OCDS inspects the system, measures disc condition and resurfaces suitable discs on the vehicle.
The right repair depends on disc thickness, surface condition, hub condition and the state of the pads. If the discs are below the manufacturer's safe limit or otherwise unsuitable for machining, replacement may be recommended instead.
Vehicles and use cases
- Sedans and hatchbacks
- Family SUVs
- Single- and double-cab bakkies
- Daily commuter vehicles
A measured, safety-first process
Measure
Disc thickness and condition determine whether resurfacing is safe. Discs outside specification should be replaced.
Correct
When suitable, on-car machining restores an even working surface aligned to the fitted hub.
Why on-car machining?
Traditional off-car machining treats the disc separately from the hub. On-car skimming machines the fitted assembly and can therefore correct run-out in the working position. It is not a substitute for replacement when a disc is too thin, cracked or otherwise unsafe.
