David;
First I would make sure the dealer is putting the correct parts in for
your model engine and transmission. That accomplished I would proceed on
the assumption that you have a minute amount of slippage and it is eating
up your disk very slowly. Do you or your SO ride the clutch? If not I
would look into a mechanical reason. Have you flushed the hydraulic fluid
regularly? If not the  master or slave cylinder may not be retracting
fully due to rusted, pitted walls. If none of these I would investigate
anomalies in your engine or transmission  caused perhaps by an
incompetent PO i.e. a release shaft that is bent or installed backwards,
etc.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
