You might want to save a few bucks by turning your rotors<\/a> instead of purchasing new ones, but in most cases, it\u2019s not worth it. Keep reading to find out why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does \u2018turning\u2019 brake rotors mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning brake rotors<\/a>essentially \u2018heals\u2019 your brake rotors by correcting any warpage that may have occurred during your daily drives, as these parts are often exposed to extreme heat cycling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Turning the brake rotors is a process done to the rotors to extend their lifespan. Usually, the rotor is mounted on a lathe where two bits of steel are placed on either side of the rotor. It is then spun around by the lathe while the bits remove the material from the surface of both sides to true up the rotor, essentially removing the embedded brake pad<\/a>material from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost to turn brake rotors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning your brake rotors<\/a>is a complicated process. When it\u2019s done by a mechanic, it usually costs around $15-25 per rotor. That might sound cheap and affordable, but not when you consider that a new rotor<\/a> will set you back around $20-30. This means that you might be able to save up to $15 per rotor when you turn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When do you replace your brake rotors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While turning brake rotors<\/a> is a quick and easy way to extend the lifespan of your brakes, it doesn\u2019t always solve the problem you have. If you\u2019re thinking about getting your rotors turned, read this list of instances first, and then decide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Visibly thin or worn down brake pads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, it will be visibly obvious that your brake pads are worn down. A simple visual inspection will be enough for you to see the difference between a new and an old pad. When worn down brake pads<\/a> are your problem, turning the brake rotors won\u2019t affect your brake\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

Squeaking or squealing sounds when braking <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you hear squeaking or squealing sounds<\/a> when you press down on your brake pedal, then it might mean that the problem won\u2019t be solved by turning the rotors. Your rotors might be worn down to the point where turning them will do more harm than good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you have an Anti-Lock Brake System equipped vehicle <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your car has an ABS, then turning your rotors is not recommended. ABS’s are very complex, and they have sensors that are tuned according to your brake\u2019s shape. If you turn your rotors and wear them down too much, then the ABS might not be able to function, as the sensors wouldn\u2019t be able to do their jobs properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Financial Capability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The process of turning rotors is cheaper than having them all replaced completely. However, when you consider the fact that you\u2019ll have fewer problems with the replacements, will the gap still matter? To some people, yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you feel like you need to save the extra few dollars, and you aren\u2019t experiencing the above-mentioned symptoms, then, by all means, have your rotors turned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Where can you have your rotors turned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve decided that you would rather have your rotors turned than have them replaced, the next question for you would be where to have it done. Most repair centers and car dealerships offer these services. Just make sure that these centers and dealerships don\u2019t charge you way more than the rates listed above. If they do, then you might want to explore a different option<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Tell If You Need New Rotors Or Just Brake Pads?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To determine if you need new rotors or just brake pads, look for these signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Brake Pads Only<\/strong>: If you hear squealing or notice thinner pads (under 3mm), you likely just need new pads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Rotors<\/strong>: If you feel vibrations or pulsating when braking, see visible grooves, rust spots, or experience reduced braking performance, the rotors may need replacement or resurfacing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A mechanic can measure rotor thickness to confirm if they are worn beyond safe limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
