My cerb feels like the front disks are not quite right. Do people get their disks skimmed? And if so what sort of companies do this? I am in Surrey.

Assume they are warped...are you getting a pulse back through the pedal? or, just need cleaning upCheers,
Mark
Skimming is fine provided they are not too warped and there is enough material left - any decent garage should be able to do this.
Never used them but these guys skim the disc on the car - which seems a good idea to me

My Chimaera rear discs were warped (I think I may have left the hand brake on and driven quite some distance)...
Anyway I had mine skimmed when it went to TVR Power for a service (although Dom said they were grinded not skimmed) he also said the metal has memory and they will eventually warp again, but it would be fine for months to come, cost about £30+VAT per disc
They seem fine to me and I had a LOT of wobble comming back through the steering, in fact you see the wing mirrors shaking and feel it through the breake pedal, it wa spretty bad, but now its totally fine.....
Not sure who Dom used, but it was a 3rd party....

hmmm....
Skimming must work to a certain extent, I would certainly try it before shelling out however much on a new pair of disks.
As far as other parts like bushes, ball joints etc. They are all new but it might be worth checking to see if maybe they have worked slightly loose.
Edited to add:
Cheers for that Pepsi I will give dom a ring. My local garage quoted over a hundred quid to do it.
Where your disks on the car when it was done?
