If your attempts to remove scratches from your DVDs or CDs using hand techniques didn’t work or if you prefer not to use a DIY repair machine, there is another option available. You can opt for professional disc repair services. Many local secondhand media stores offer this service at a reasonable cost. The only downside is that the availability of this service may vary, as discs are not as popular as they used to be.

When choosing a store to repair your disc, it is essential to consider their reputation. Look for a reputable place that specializes in selling secondhand CDs, video games, movies, or other discs. These stores are likely to have extensive experience in fixing stubborn discs. Moreover, they may have access to higher-quality resurfacing machines compared to what you can buy for home use. This means that the outcome of their repair work may be of superior quality compared to attempting the repair yourself.
