Why Direct Brakes only replaces (never resurfaces) brake rotors for Sioux Falls drivers - the safety and performance benefits that matter most.
- Resurfacing removes up to 30% of critical material
- Warped rotors can't be fully repaired
- New rotors last 2-3x longer with proper installation
The Problem With Resurfacing Rotors
Material Integrity
Modern rotors have thinner castings - resurfacing removes up to 3mm of material, reducing heat capacity by 40% and lifespan by half.
Heat Management
Resurfaced rotors warp 5x faster under Sioux Falls' extreme temperature swings. New rotors maintain proper thermal stability.
Safety Standards
Most manufacturers void warranties if rotors are resurfaced. We follow OEM specifications for maximum safety.
Long-Term Value
New rotors prevent repeat repairs - Sioux Falls drivers save $200+ on average over 3 years.
When Rotor Replacement is Essential
Steering Wheel Vibration
Shaking at highway speeds indicates severe warping (over 0.1mm runout)
Visible Grooves
Deep scoring (over 1.5mm) compromises structural integrity
Blue Discoloration
Indicates overheating (600°F+) and metallurgical changes
Below Minimum Thickness
Measured with micrometer - beyond manufacturer specs
