Everyone remember the time we are living in now. Everything is more expensive now and prices keep rising everyday it seems. I was quoted around $900.00 to have a brake job done on my 2005 1500 Silverado regular cab truck a couple of months ago at the local dealership here. It has front discs and rear drums and the drums are more expensive to replace. The price didn’t include front rotors either. I was going to get brake work and new tires there but found a local tire shop that has been in business for over 50 years that gave me a better deal on tires and even checked the brakes too. The Tech told me my brakes were good and didn’t need to be changed which was a relief. The Chevy dealership never had my truck in the shop as I was a walk in customer to get a quote but I have had work done there before on my 2016 2SS Camaro which I haven’t owned since 2019.

I'm at 25k. Just looked at mine last weekend. Prematurely bought front and rears that I didn't use due to vibration issues I was able to resolve with some grinding and rebedding. I'll admit fronts are much more worn than rears and I think I'll get another 15k out of the front. Track days and driving style play a big part. Also terrain and weight transfer in the mountains

My dealership did it. I didn't mind them turning the rotors so much as reinstalling the mangled alignment bolts! And I'm friends with the family that owns the place! Guess I got special treatment.

So, the car is my 19 year old son’s. I was hoping Brembos would be more resilient and beefier, but, ah youth. I went through a ton of front brakes on my Eagle Talon TSI AWD when I was in my weekly 20s. I question the need for brakes at this age and mileage. What am I to do though? Not believe the dealer’s measurement? The inspection report reveals they’re under 3mm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is incorrect. There's a minimum thickness advertised by the rotor manufacturer. Measure the rotor thickness. I would be shocked if it was already below minimum thickness at 23k miles. Inspect for cracks and if none are found, reuse the same rotors with the new pads.

Front rotors for SS non-1LE appear to be 30mm new and minimum/discard thickness appears to be 28mm: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showp...98&postcount=4
This info may be stamped on the edge of the rotor. |

Warping is more likely as the material thickness decreases. So, while you're statement is technically true, it's also why most shops don't turn rotors any longer when replacing pads - the likelihood of warping due to low material amounts goes way up.

What really happens is DTV or disc thickness variation. This is basically caused by rotors being mounted slightly crooked. Maybe dirt or rust between hub and rotor or torqued improperly. Anyway the misalignment allows the brake pads to catch the edges of the rotors and wear them unevenly. This happens even when pedal not applied. I think even like 10-20 microns of uneven runout can be sensed as pedal pulsation. Best advice is to make sure mounting surfaces are super clean when you put on new rotors. |
