My mother in law went in to get a simple rotor turn done on her car. Her vehicle only has 29k on it mind you. So, she went in there and told them what I told her to say, “My car shakes when braking. I would like to see what the cost is to turn the front rotors.” After waiting for her car to be inspected, the sales rep comes out and notifies her that A.) she needs new front brake pads due to excessive wear, B.) she needs new front rotors because the material their made out of cannot be resurfaced, and C.) She needs new rear brake pads due to them being over worked due to the front brake pads.
The car has less than 30K on it and if you know anything about anything, rotors on most regular cars (she has a Nissan Rogue) are made of friggin iron... IRON! So please tell me how iron cannot be re-surfaced? I could see the possibility of the front pads wearing out faster, but upon further inspection from myself, there is plenty of life still available. As far as the rear pads go, the likelihood of those wearing out before the fronts is next to impossible (unless there is a problem with the front brakes i.e. pinched brake lines). But to state that the rear pads wore out quicker because a simple warped rotor!?!?! You have got to be friggin kidding me!
NEVER EVER WILL I LET HER GO BACK TO THIS LOCATION OR ANY MIDAS LOCATION AGAIN!
