What is On Car Brake Machining

When it comes to the intricate mechanism of your car's brake system, nothing short of optimal functioning is acceptable. With a wide array of services and solutions available to enhance your car's performance, on-car brake machining by Smety's Mechanical stands as a testament to technological innovation in automotive care. Let's delve into the captivating world of on-car brake machining to give your vehicle the royal treatment it deserves.

So, what is on-car brake machining?

Imagine an ultra-sleek service, an alignment with cutting-edge technology, and your brake rotors. This union spells the essence of on-car brake machining. When executed correctly, the process entails your brake rotors being machined whilst they remain affixed to the car, ensuring absolute alignment with the hub. The result? Precision personified, a smoothly performing brake system that is intricately in sync with the entirety of your car.

Does my car need On-car brake machining?

Some cars are equipped with brake systems that may perform better when adjusted directly on the car, versus a bench or an external setup. These include high-performance cars, luxury models, and some variants of light trucks. If your car showcases a symphony of vibrations or pulsating pedal action when braking, it's a high probability it would greatly benefit from an on-car brake machining service. In fact, some vehicle manufacturers specify on-car brake lathes only for resurfacing the rotors on their vehicles.

The contrast: On-car brake machining versus regular bench type machining

Bench machining may work perfectly fine for many, however, on-car brake machining raises the bar by optimizing your brake system to unparalleled precision. Bench machining, or off-car machining, doesn't take the hub into account, which is an essential part of the vehicle. In contrast, on-car brake machining adjusts your brake system in line with the hub's alignment, directly correlating to better braking, minimised pulsations, and longer rotor and pad life.

Are there any warning signs I should look for?

Yes, indeed. Some potential signs suggesting that your brake system might require attention include noises when braking, vibrations or shudder during braking, longer stopping distances, or if your brake pedal pulsates when pressed. All these can be alleviated with Smety's Mechanical's adept services in brake care.
