Looking for a machine shop in the Aberdeen who would entertain this.

I have a huge build up of brake pad desposits from trackdays on my M3 floating discs. It's causing bad vibration when braking and no they aren't warped, well very unlikely. I would rather avoid shelling out £300 for a new set.

So does anyone know? Also any idea on cost? I assume they'll take into account the thickness of the disc?

Thanks, just called. Looking at £60 a pair to have skimmed on the car. That's about 25% the price of a new set hmmmm can't decide what to do now.

Are there any machine shops in Aberdeen that will skim discs? Station garage won't do drilled or grooved ones as it ruins their on-car brake lathe.
