    Default Can drilled and slotted rotors be turned?

    My rotors are warped so I was wondering if warped rotors can be turned and can drilled and slotted rotors be turned? If so, around how much would have two done? Also, anyone know of any parts stores that do it (in Canada)?

    lots of parts stores can do it, or have it done, Canadian tire use to do it, I dont know if they still do. But if it is warped there is nothing you can do. and I'm not sure if you can turn down drilled slotted rotors. drilled maby, but it would kinda wreck the slotted parts...

    Some Kal-Tire's do it, and if you bring them in off the car, its $25 each. but they cant do drilled rotors (I just called)

    turns out it wasn't the rotors, when I took a closer look it was the calipers. Installed new calipers and she stops on a dime, no more shuttering

    Heres a SERIOUS question frrom a VERY drunk mother ****er... who here has ACTUALLY LEGIT had a rotor warp on them?

    I don't mean, "OH I REPLACED THE ROTORS OR HAD THEM TURNED AND IT WAS ALL GOOD" i mean ****ing had it checked out by a legit shop.

    Most of the time its the glue on your rotors not being evenly distributed because you went past the thermal limit of your pads. either rebed your pads first or get higher temp pads and rebed them.
