At Cobb Tire and Auto Repair, we see and repair a lot of brake systems that are faulty. Your Brakes are the most important safety item on your vehicle. We are asked a lot, “Do My Brake Rotors Need Replacing?” The answer to this question is YES. This is why.
Lowering the weight of vehicles is very important to auto manufacturers. Vehicles are much lighter than they were 30 years ago. Brake system weight has decreased tremendously. Brake Rotors are not as heavy and as thick as they were in the past.
Brake Pads and Brake Rotors wear together. The New Brake Pads require a new and straight brake rotor surface to meet. We highly recommend NOT installing new brake pads onto old worn Brake Rotors. We see stopping power decreased, and problems with vibration and noise.
Including new Brake Rotors will also help maintain a strong warranty. Our best-in-town 3 Year / Unlimited mileage warranty will protect you if a brake problem arises in the future.
I hope this helps answer any questions about why it is important to include new Disc Brake Rotors.
