Store Services: Brake Drum & Rotor Resurfacing

Brake Drum and Rotor Resurfacing

Though it is often best to replace brake drums and/or rotors when completing a brake service, in some cases it may be possible to have the existing rotors and drums on your vehicle resurfaced. Brake rotor and drum resurfacing involves using a brake lathe to carefully remove the top layer or damaged metal, restoring the braking surface to an appropriately smooth and machined contact point for your new brake pads or shoes.

Brake rotor and drum resurfacing is available for a fee at most O’Reilly Auto Parts locations, and our parts professionals can measure the remaining material on your rotor or drum before beginning the service to ensure that the thickness will remain within spec for safety. Deep grooves or metal-on-metal contact due to excessive brake pad wear before replacement often prevents rotors and drums from being resurfaced, and if they are too thin, the parts professionals at O’Reilly Auto Parts can help you find the best replacement parts to get you back on the road safely.
