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

SUVs and 4x4s Disc Skimming in Pretoria
SUVs, 4x4s and bakkies place substantial loads on their brakes, particularly when towing, carrying cargo or driving in stop-start traffic. OCDS measures the discs and checks the braking system before recommending skimming or replacement.
Disc skimming for suvs and 4x4s
SUVs, 4x4s and bakkies place substantial loads on their brakes, particularly when towing, carrying cargo or driving in stop-start traffic. OCDS measures the discs and checks the braking system before recommending skimming or replacement.
Vehicle weight and use matter when assessing safe disc thickness and brake condition. Provide the make, model and typical use when requesting a quote so that we can confirm whether our mobile equipment is suitable.

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.
