The most important component of an automobile system is the maintenance of brakes. Graaff brakes offer one-stop skimming. In this process, the brakes of the car are skimmed to renew the brake discs hence increasing the life of brakes. This helps in bringing it to a halt and smooth vehicle retardation, the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy due to friction.

Rather than replacing the disc every time, it is better to keep them maintained. This a value-adding process as it increases the life of brakes. Predicting the life of car brakes is very complex as there are many factors that affect it.

Graaff Brakes uses the best skimming method for skimming; the discs are resurfaced and aligned. All the brakes can be skimmed twice and at least once before replacing them. The brakes need to be replaced when the pads reach their minimum thickness; the brakes give sound on pressing brake paddle.

How long does it take to get your brakes skimmed?

A single brake disc takes about 4 to 5 minutes to be skimmed, which means the skimming of all wheels is not more than 30 minutes. This half-hour is worth its value., as it increases the life of brake pads to be replaced.

The skimming process is much lower in cost when compared to disc brake replacement. The brakes are often skimmed once, but if you have got better quality brakes or you keep your car maintained, the brakes can be skimmed two times.

How to know whether the brakes can be skimmed or need to be replaced?

The brake pads could be skimmed if the pads have not worn off up to 40%, if the brake pads are worn off to 20%, there is no other option than replacing them. If the brake pads wear off more than 20%, the brakes start searching, and the brakes do not work well.

The brakes should be constantly checked as it does not only increase the brake life but also adds value to your car as the maintained brakes need less power to stop the car. In our modern era, everything is so fast the same with brake skimming.

Conclusion:

The brakes need to be checked weekly or monthly; it only needs a few minutes. It is not just a cost-saving process, also a value-adding process. You should visit Graaff brakes if you replace the brake pads each time when it seems to be a problem and inefficiency in brakes.
