One of the Audi technicians at the local dealership told me that the way Audi makes the rotors, they cannot be re surfaced. Is it true? Can they not also be turned cuz they are "uni directional"? Anyone?

I am about to install new brake pads but dont want to install new rotors cuz of money constraints. So I was just gonna have them re surfaced, but until now I am cofused after talking to the audi tech.

Needing help,

non vented rotors can not be re surfaced

 

You don't have to resurface them. If they aren't warped then you'll be fine.

 

What about turning the rotors? Can that be done?

 

dealerships dont turn rotors they sell you new ones. go to a brake shop they will hook you up

 

ya the dealerhsip will always try to rob ya try to watch yourself

 

also use the magnasson and moss act of 1976 for your warranty if you have done upgrades!!!!

 

dont do all that lawyer **** delaerships will eat you alive

 

thats why you go in knowing what your taling about and then they back off

 

Agreed, dealerships are not generally a place to go if you are out of warranty. They rob you.

Is buying brake pads online (either Hawk or PBR/Axxis) and having a brake shop install them, a good idea?
