- It seems that I lost the friction material off of one of my front brake pads and it scarred the rotor. I took the rotor to AutoZone to be turned, but they refused to because "their computer" said the

- I didn't even try to have my rotors turned. The cost of new ones seemed reasonable. What I didn't expect was to have to buy the drill press to remove the rusted bolts joining the rotor to the hub! O

- Keith, new rotors are around $25.00, in my area turning is $10.00 or less. Despite what others may say, turned rotors are safe, and are 40% of the cost of new. I vote for turning. If the rotors are o

- You have to buy new rotors. I read the same thing in my manual, and I tried to get mine ground. My Trak Auto said it was too small too, but the guy tried anyway. It really screwed up the rotor! It s

- The frustrating thing is that I replaced both rotors when I did a brake job just 10K miles ago. If the right outside pad had not lost it's friction material, I should have been able to get another 30

- Unless the rotor is scored badly or warped, leave them on, it won't hurt anything. I've got 100,000 miles on one of my original rotors that has a grove in it from the 1st time I put new pads on it. M

- Probably some dealer trained mechanic will argue the point, but I've never had a set of rotors or drums turned. My pickup has 155,000 miles on it and is on it's third set of front pads and its second

- Well Blake, I don't often write "me to" replies, but this time, me too. I've replaced pads and shoes on many a vehicle of mine and lived happily ever after. I agree that the trick is to know when the
