Dear Customers!
We are pleased to announce that a new service—brake disc machining—is now available at the UNITYRE tire centers on Kabanbay Batyr, Shevchenko, and Shchelkovskaya in Almaty. This service is performed by qualified personnel using professional equipment.
Generally, the main consumable in a car’s braking system is the brake pads, which need to be replaced every 40,000–70,000 km (depending on braking frequency and the type of pads). While brake discs are more durable, they also wear out over time.
You can see evidence of this wear after your first pad replacement: a 1 mm rim (lip) appears on the outer edge of the disc, the result of metal being worn away by the friction material on the pads.
Such a lip on the disc negatively affects not only the proper operation of new brake pads but also accelerates their wear. To restore the disc to its original shape, it needs to be machined on special equipment. Our UNITYRE tire centers on Kabanbay Batyr, Shevchenko, and Shchelkovskaya in Almaty have the necessary machinery to do this.

Machining isn’t just for normal wear. For example, if you drive through a puddle after heavy braking, the sudden temperature change can cause the disc to deform. You might notice this deformation as vibration (or “shuddering”) in the brake pedal during braking. Poor-quality brake pads, a faulty caliper, or delaying pad replacement can also damage the brake disc.
A disc surface with defects significantly reduces braking efficiency and can lead to accidents.
With our professional equipment, we can restore the shape and correct surface plane of your brake discs, reducing disc runout and providing the proper surface roughness.
We look forward to seeing you at our tire centers:
