Hi all.


So, ok.


A 2004 Accord, original owner (me!) 43K Km's, never had rotors turned,
front pads at 5%, but NO metal on metal.


Why would the rotors wear to the point of having to be replaced??


I get the feeling they know something I don't (like orig rotors cheap
product) as they quoted me around $300 for pads/hardware/rotors
installed. Rotors were $93 ea., so that plus pads etc. AND labour
maybe should be higher? (I'm not argueing!)


Should I specify a different type of pad next time?


Sorry for attempting to avail myself upon the help of Vanagon people,
but this has me puzzled.
