my disc brake got sound

anyone know where is the best shop to go for skimming?
 
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.
 
*sorry for hijacking the thread*
i need to skim my disc brakes too.. but was quoted 80 bucks for both front..
rm50 for both or single? using what kinda machine? where's titan shop?
 
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.
Tell the Boss that intro by Black Hyundai Coupe. (He only know my car, dunno my name. Haha)

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

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.
 
Better not to skim de disc but for short term ok & skim only twice r advice
 
if my disc now have those lines/grooves on it ... shud i skim or juz change brake pads?
