Carbon‑Ceramic Disc Repair & Restore Service
StopFlex Carbon Ceramic Disc Repair Service
Fix the problem, not the story. If your carbon-ceramic (C/SiC) disc is eligible, we restore a usable friction surface and stable braking feel. If it’s not eligible, we tell you clearly and recommend replacement.
We measure and screen the disc before any work begins. No “blind repair.”
Best for surface/transfer-layer issues, light distortion, and debris marks—when the core is healthy.
Cracks, delamination, below-min thickness, or core damage = replacement recommendation.
What you get: a go/no-go decision, a clear explanation, and (if eligible) a repaired disc ready for proper bedding with carbon-ceramic-approved pads.
Eligibility at a Glance
This table is the fastest way to understand whether repair makes sense for your disc.
| Condition | What you may notice | Typical outcome | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uneven deposits / transfer-layer issues | Judder/vibration under braking, inconsistent bite | Often repairable | Surface correction + correct pad choice + proper bedding is usually the fix |
| Surface gouges (debris / pad failure marks) | Scratches/grooves, noise, localized bite change | Often repairable | Repair depends on depth/location and whether the core remains sound |
| Minor edge chipping (non-structural) | Small chips/pits at the edge | Sometimes repairable | Allowed only if it does not reach deep into the core or spread |
| Light runout within a correctable window | Brake vibration, uneven pad contact | Sometimes repairable | We confirm by measurement; if outside limits, we stop |
| Through-thickness cracks | Visible cracking, noise, unpredictable behavior | Replacement recommended | Structural risk |
| Delamination / core integrity issues | Flaking, separation signs, severe hotspots | Replacement recommended | Core is compromised |
| Below minimum thickness | Often unknown without measurement | Replacement recommended | Not safe or worth “saving” once below spec |
| Severe impact damage / extreme overheating | Large chips, deep damage, suspected core changes | Replacement recommended | High uncertainty = high risk |
Non-negotiable: If the disc fails structural checks or dimensional limits, we do not proceed.
What to Send for a Fast Answer
- Disc brand + part number (if known)
- Vehicle + current brake package (OEM CCB or aftermarket)
- High-res photos: both faces + outer edge + any damaged area
- What happened: debris hit, pad failure, overheating, long storage, etc.
- City/Country for return shipping quote
If your car has multiple brake options, photos usually solve it quickly.
How the Process Works
| Step | What happens | Your role |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Photo review + initial direction | Send details + photos |
| 2 | Quote range + shipping plan | Confirm return address and shipping option |
| 3 | Ship discs to our workshop (Guangzhou, China) | Pack carefully to protect the outer edge |
| 4 | Inspection and measurement (go/no-go) | Approve repair only after eligibility is confirmed |
| 5 | Repair (if eligible) + final checks + insured return | Install with correct pads and follow bedding guidance |
For best results after repair, use carbon-ceramic-approved pads and complete a proper bedding procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is repairing carbon-ceramic discs safe?
It can be safe when the disc core is structurally sound and the repair stays within strict limits. We inspect and measure first; if integrity or remaining life is questionable, we recommend replacement.
Can I send one disc, or should I repair both on the same axle?
You can send one disc, a pair, or a full set. For consistent axle balance and matched friction behavior, repairing both discs on the same axle is usually the better solution.
What damage is typically repairable?
Common repairable cases include surface gouges from debris or pad failure, coating/transfer-layer damage, uneven deposits that cause judder, minor non-structural edge chipping, and light runout that remains within a correctable window.
When is replacement the safer choice?
We recommend replacement for through-thickness cracks, delamination, severe impact damage, discs below minimum thickness, extreme overheating that compromises the core, or prior unsafe repairs.
Do I need new pads after repair?
In most cases, yes. New carbon-ceramic-approved pads and correct bedding-in help establish a clean, uniform transfer layer on the refreshed surface.
How should I pack discs for shipping?
Pack each disc individually, protect the outer edge with dense foam, prevent metal-to-metal contact, and label the parcel as fragile. Avoid any edge impacts during shipping.
