whoa...brake drums need refacing????

How much does this run, and is it just cheaper to buy new ones. What can hapen if I run my truck with the needing-reface-drums. BAD STUFF??? This is pulling some clouds over my current parade...lets hope it don't start storming!!!So now my finances will have to be better spent on my brakes.....cause why drive if you can't stop...

None of our autozine or advanced autos do the turning. I had to have my front two doen and it ran a little over $30. around 32 I think. I had mine done at Midas. It was the only place I found that did front drums.

It might have been cheaper without hubs (like rears), and mine were really bad. I don't think they will be able to ever do it again.

Definitely cheaper to get them turned, rather than buying new. Especially the front drum/hub combo.
