Independent Garages
Brake Lathes
Most independent garages swap slightly worn or oxidised brake discs on every brake pad change. Online parts transparency and distributor markups eat your margins. Stop parts swapping and start skimming. You charge the customer less, but make up to 4x more profit on high-margin labour!
Key Sector Benefits
Keep 100% of the skimming labour revenue inside your workshop
Charge customers up to 70% less than the cost of new OEM discs
Eliminate expensive comebacks by correcting lateral run-out under 0.025mm
Turn pad swaps into highly profitable precision engineering jobs
// The Problem: Low Parts Swapping Margins
Garages struggle with low margins on parts swapping because customers can easily check prices online. Waiting for parts delivery ties up your lift and technicians, reducing workshop efficiency.
// The Solution: High-Margin On-Car Skimming
By resurfacing existing discs on-car in under 10 minutes, you keep 100% of the skimming labour revenue in-house. You charge customers up to 70% less than the cost of new OEM discs, but make far more net profit per job.
