Profit from skimming

An on-car brake lathe presents itself as a piece of equipment that could do wonders for your profit margins while saving your customers their hard-earned cash too. The brake lathe from Pro-Cut skims discs in 9 minutes, an axle in 18 and both axles in 36 minutes - putting an end to any squeaks, squeals and vibration issues.

The company says the opportunities for garages to make money are considerable, e.g. MOT referrals from corroded brake discs, an alternative to replacing partly worn discs or simply sold as an extra service. If you happen to sell used cars this could become a well-used piece of equipment in between use on customer’s vehicles.

The kit can also be of use when new discs have been fitted as skimming all four new discs will result in perfect alignment on the car and will extend brake and pad life.
