O'Reilly's says they will do them while you wait... http://oreillyauto.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/151/~/drum-%2F-rotor-resurfacing Where are you located? BTW, the ridge is there because the brake pads don't go all the way to the edge. It doesn't affect anything.

No problem. Done it before. But this time, noticed a ridge at the outer rim of the rotors. Decided to have them machined down but have been unable to find anyone to do the job. Excuse - "We can't do it unless 'WE' take the rotors off the car. Corporate Policy! " or " We don't turn VW rotors because you are supposed to just replace them!" I never heard such bunk. These rotors were brand new last brake job. There is no scarring, grooving or scratches on them. They are snooth as a baby' behind. The ONLY thing wrong is that little ridge. The rotors are still quite thick and easily would withstand one machining, maybe even two. In fact, all that really needs doing as a practical matter is to take the ridge of. The discs would perform well without any further ado. I'm frustrated, needless to say. Any suggestions? Johnl
