Your Volkswagen Atlas or Tiguan’s brakes are a complex system and rely on several parts to keep you safe when driving in Sappington or Fenton. Your rotors are a key component in bringing your car to a stop and issues with your rotors can cause performance issues when braking or slowing down. Regular service and resurfacing can correct rotor issues and restore expected performance.
Many causes can lead to you needing to get your Jetta’s rotors resurfaced. One of the most common causes is uneven wear or wrapping. This is caused by the heat your Volkswagen encounters during routine braking when driving in Concord. Other issues that can be addressed by resurfacing include rusting, corrosion, and damage caused by other issues with your braking system. Your rotors can be damaged by many events, including regular driving, over-exposure to moisture, and more. No matter the causes resurfacing can be an effective solution.
Resurfacing is a versatile solution to issues with Volkswagen brake rotors; however, in some cases replacing your rotors is needed. Resurfacing causes your rotors to become thinner and requires a certain level of thickness to be successful. Rotors that are too thin due to age, damage, or past resurfacing will need to be replaced if they cannot be resurfaced. Also, severe damage, cracks, and grooves can render your Passat’s rotors too damaged to resurface, which also can require replacement.
In general, brake rotors can last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. The reason for such a broad usage lifespan is a lot of factors can affect how long your rotors last. How you drive and the driving conditions you drive your Golf GTI in can affect brake rotor lifespan as heavy driving and regular driving in heavy traffic can put more wear on your rotors. Factors such as the environment and care of your automobile can also affect the rotors.
