Well, it doesn't get used on new cars under the BMW Maintenance Program Extension because that covers pads and rotors. But I do see it being used usually once a day. It's on a cart on wheels and moves from one shop to the other. Our techs (maybe a dozen of them—depending on departures and Covid) are in two different buildings. Our SHP Inspection officers are tough on rust on brake rotors. The code is a bit vague and we'll often fail a car and the customer will immediately take it to another inspection station that laughs at us and then passes the car, but our State Police Inspection Officer has always agreed with our decision when asked by a customer to question our failing their car. The machining is often a less-expensive way to comply with the inspection code.
