Brake Issues? Let's Keep You Moving

Published:

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.
