Default Rotor Skimming

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows who can do mobile rotor skimming? Changing the pads on my car this weekend and would like to give the rotors a skim.

TIA.

Yeh i used ABS in Ozzy park to skim my rotor's before. Also depends how much meat they have left, wether they are warped and so on. Didnt cost too much either.

I got mine done by the guy in the same block as RMS. From memory it was aout $20 a rotor but that was about 5 years ago. I promptly went and cracked them so they were replaced very quickly.

Hoping for a mobile mech to be honest doh. Or if that's not possible, anywhere in the Morley area? Do you need to make an appt or can I just lob in?
