An owner of an Atom recently experienced problems with run-out on brand-new front brake discs and could hear a dragging noise when the vehicle was jacked up and the discs rotated.

Having searched the internet for a solution, the owner found a local garage providing a Pro-Cut brake disc skimming service. All four grooved discs were skimmed resulting in the removal of the run-out and braking massively improved.
