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. -- Neil Nicholson. 1981 Air Cooled Westfalia. |
