Rotors resurfaced at Autozone?
Has anyone had their rotors resurfaced at Autozone? They have signs up that they do it for cheap but I was wondering if they have good equipment, etc? Any good/bad experiences?

I think it varies store to store. None of the Autozones I frequent offer it, but there is a NAPA nearby that does.

A rotors min. thickness is stamped on the edge someplace. If the rotor is larger then the min. thickness, it can be resurfaced.

Yeah, my local autozone and kragen used to do machine work like resurfacing. They send it to a local garage to get it done. If you wanna save some bucks, goto a garage directly. If you want convenience, autozone/kragen should be ok. pepboyz near me does it in-house.

Most of your big chain parts places that do do it are very strict on thickness tolerances, mostly because of insurance purposes. We now have a brake lathe at our repair shop, and my dad is particular with his stadegy of doing them. The minnum thickness is the key for them not to re-warp in a short amount of time. The thinner they are the easier they warp. Try to find a reputable place if u want to resurface and if you decide to replace BEWARE of the CHEAP line rotors. There material is crappy and u will be unbolting them again in no time. Stick to USA made, they have proven to be better from what we have seen.

hope they charge in the $10 a rotor area when I want mine milled down.
If these local stores offer a warantee with their work, then I would give them a try, and keep my eye on the rotors for any problems.
