Rotors turned.

[Hattrick 22]

I'm in need of having some rotors turned on my car and was wondering if anyone knows someone in the Metairie/Kenner area that does it?

Thanks

Check the prices. I went to change my brakes recently and realized one side rubbed into the rotor.
Called around to see about getting them both turned and found out that for $10 more I could just buy brand new rotors.

I used to get my rotors turned on my first truck 15 years ago for like $10 a Rotor.
Now days, from where I called, they want anywhere from $20 to $30 per Rotor.

So call an Auto parts store first and find out the price on new ones
and compare to the local guy who turns them. You may be surprised.

China may be your friend after all! The "Made in China" rotors have really hurt the sale of brake lathes.

I don't know what you are driving but the exception to the replacing the rotor is some oddball unit with a hub or bearing made on it. Keep in mind the machine shop charges more to mill those. Price around.

Every other parts store around here turns rotors. Call a few local ones up and ask.

Actually all the made in china rotors should be turned before instalation. They are never true right out the box.

Also some rotors are so close to the minimum when new the easiest thing is to buy new ones and be done. I have seen some rotors that won't pass the minimum thickness for the first brake job.

Mullers in Westwego turns them. Don't know about Metairie / Kenner.

Oreily's turns old ones and sells new ones. That is where I would check first.
