Got brake discs skimmed & pads changed on my Mahindra XUV700

The service center used Procut machine which didn’t require removal of discs for skimming

BHPian A.G. recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

General inspection before a trip (Rear Brake Pads changed)

Before heading out on a family trip, it was wise to get the XUV7OO also inspected. Visited the post-Diwali break and upon inspection, the rear brake pads were found to be almost at the minimum thickness mark. With the trip ahead, got them changed. The Brake discs were also suggested to be skimmed to even out the minor undulations. I was pleasantly surprised that the service center used a Procut machine which didn’t require the removal of discs for skimming and performed the job in hardly 10 minutes on one disc.

Skimming done

After the road trial, the general checks were performed and the air filter was cleaned. The total invoice came to Rs. 7,503/- with Rs. 1,350/- + taxes being charged for skimming and the rest being for rear brake pads.
