Try looking around at tyre shops. They MIGHT provide services like this. Before you skim your disc, try skimming your pads first or change new ones. If you did, then disc's problem or maybe the pads no good.

2zzge, how the syndrome?
Sound only when you press the brake pedal light? or when you floor your brake pedal? or both?

no necessery to skim the brake, sometime you just need to sandpaper the break pedal.

Or your mech advice you to skim it?

Do you know Fook Mei at Segambut? They can call someone to do the skimming for you, but make it as last resort.

i have the same problem....when i reverse my honda ef and brake, then the itchy sound appears...
i have done skimming my rear disks, but then the sound still there...
does anyone got any ideas??

 

[BlackSamurai]

change the brake pad may help. sometime the problem happen because of the brake pad, not the disk

 

[nonameNo]

sometimes it is not necessary to skim the brake disc and not recommend to do so.

the brake sound can be cause by:

bubble of air ("angin") OR water (during washing the car) form in between the brake pad and brake disc. normally it will goes off after a while...

another factor is the brake pad is not good... time to change a new one.

last factor, the brake pad is worn out and the metal part of it is touching the disc brake. check your brake pad... if less than 1/4 of it original thickness, then time to change it.

change brake pad

i think agree with nonameNo, change the brake pad. The problem also happen to me. When brake, noisy sound, i check with mechanic, he said no problem. This happen for 1 year. I see 3 mechanic. They said everything ok.

But last week I change the brake pad. Now, its no sound anymore.
