    Try Kiely Engineering on Careys Road. Just past the CIE Club as you go up careys rd. If they don't do it they should know who will. Sorry I dont have a phone number for them.
    Alternatively phone Seamus mc Grath Motors (or similar) and ask who they use.

    Skimming a brake disc is like 're-lining a brake shoe or a clutch. Cheaper to buy new because of the cost of the Labour involved

    99% of the time, yes....but depends on what the OP is driving.
    Could be a 60's Merc or a modern Porsche :).

    I know it's probably not either of the above but he may just have something that's slightly too old for replacement discs to be still on the market, or something a bit too high-end for spurious discs to be available.

    Just to update this Kiely Engineering dont do this service anymore and didnt know of anywhere that did,its a dying trade and the chap i spoke to said they no longer did this due to insurance reasons as they take a few mm of disc off every time.
    Car is question is a 99 Integra R .i have ordered two new disks for 80e the pair.
