JLR Recommend Pro-Cut Brake Lathe

Jaguar Land Rover engineering have made the Pro-Cut on-car brake lathe a recommended piece of equipment for their dealerships worldwide, saying that “It eliminates brake noise, removes corrosion and delivers improved braking performance.” Jaguar tested the Pro-Cut 9.0 brake lathe at two service centres, on two separate test cars driven by two different drivers. Pro-Cut Europe demonstrated the system on one brake disc and a Jaguar mechanic completed the job under supervision, before the cars were tested.

The cars, and more importantly the brakes, were put through their paces to determine the effectiveness of the equipment. Both test drivers could not believe the transformation of the vehicles following the demonstration, reporting an 80 per cent increase in efficiency within five stops and more response from the brake pedal.

A Jaguar Brakes VFG Engineer said: “When Pro-Cut approached us about the equipment we were sceptical that it wasn’t something we needed in the workshop. But after the demonstration we realised the potential it had, not just for solving problems but also for generating profit for our dealerships. We hope to have the system in all our centres by 2010.”

Peter Spraggs, Managing Director Pro-Cut Europe, said: “We are extremely pleased with the recommendation from Jaguar Land Rover. We know how good the equipment is and had every faith that it would improve the performance of the test cars chosen. We are looking forward to demonstrating the lathe to all the Jaguar Land Rover centres in the UK so they can offer their customers a perfect brake job and increase their profitability.”

The Pro-Cut on-car brake lathe cures squeaks, squeals and vibration issues forever in nine minutes, increasing both retail and warranty opportunities for any service centre or dealership. The Pro-Cut machine is a quicker and more profitable option than changing partially worn discs, both on sales cars and for service work, saving time and money. It is fast, accurate and easy to use.
