Heres the deal. I have OEM sized rotors and theyre a little warped. Not too much though. I was going to go BBK but want to wait til spring since I am not sure if Im keeping her or getting an M5. I would like to spend the least amount possible. Thats why i want to know who could resurface these. If not (sigh) then ill get new rotors er something. Machine shops do these type of things?

A Lexus dealer would probably turn them on the vehicle. Most have a machine to do this.

You might call around for someone with the machine.

Or have the rotors removed and a good local machine shop should have a better quality metal lathe to turn them true...

most lexus dealerships wont turn rotors, they push for replacement even if they have enough meat on them to cut them until they are true.

parts stores like pep boys, napa, autozone & murrays all cut rotors, about 8-10$ a piece.

Oh yeah I forgot to write that they are CROSS DRILLED OEM sized rotors. I know the regular shops cant do something like this. Or can they?

Tammy

You are correct, most shops cannot turn drilled or slotted rotors.

They are usually replaced when warped.

Try Autozone. They do it.

i said if they are warped, i havent found a dealer that will turn them. the service writers always recommend replacement, even though the factory manuals have minimum thickness specs for rotors for cutting. of course there's no reason to repair/replace if they are true and in spec, just slap on new pads and grease the shims/sliding pins. also, he said oem SIZED cross-drilled rotors.

Lexus can resurface them.

However, that is costly.

Just general respair places, often the corner gas station with a garage has the machine. It ain't rocket science to do this.

Lexus already told me they wouldn't do this. Some shops that I have asked said they dont have the machines to turn x-drilled rotors. Maybe I'll take the trip to "el otro lado" to get them done at a shop. I'm kidding. i need to get out there to see the fam though.

If you were sur de la frontera, it would be easier. Prices down here for doing the fronts range from $25 to $40 USD.

The Lexus dealer up in San Antonio where I last had that done did this.

I figure you would have to call around. I swear, it is pretty easy to do, I just had it done a few weeks ago myself.

Well i needed to get my brakes done BADLY and my best friend had me lend her my garage for a month (all her belongings taking up my ****!). I went to a shop on Touhy and Western and they charged me $50 to put them on. They were actually able to turn then a lil. Glad my brakes are A.O.K though!

I have power slots, and Midas turned them for 50 dollars / pair.

Merlins in Morton Grove on Dempster St. will do them

They have done my GS400 Brembo Xdrilled and my Stillen Maxima drilled

rotors as well. No problems ever. $15-20each.
