Why You Should Replace Rotors with Your New Brake Pads, Noises and Wear Patterns Along with it.

- Here is a perfect example of a shop that wants to make a quick buck but had no business doing it, if you understand the workings of a brake system then you know that rotors wear out just like the pads, they loose metal and the rotors get thin, thin rotors will give you a lower brake pedal feel.
rotors also get warped from heat, rust from the outside weather,grooved up and gouged by the brake pad material..and there are several types of material that contain metal..ceramic or cheap plain pads, there is a difference besides price..cheap stuff gives off more brake dust which you will see on the outside of your wheels or rims, great pads will stop better and they will wear out your rotors just like your feet wears out shoes..and don't think you are getting good parts at those places that give you lifetime warranty because you still pay for the labor at every time you go in..labor was not warranty. Just imagine that they charge you premium prices for parts say 200.00 bucks but install cheap parts instead which cost 50.00 bucks..they can warranty those parts 4 times and still made the money on you and they will charge you labor all 4 times because the parts are warranty but the labor is not, so they have you as a Customer for life..Think about that.
And notice that the new brake pads has not even Touched the old rotors yet, they are brand new..just the tip or the edges are touching the high spots

very well explained. Thank you.

thank you so much
You're welcome and thanks for watching...
i just replace the pads an rotors together because they are made to these days and cheap enough, the older ones from way back when were a bit different.
Quality is definitely different, but I always use autozone brand since it has a 2 year warranty on the rotors..
@@alyoungcuda if i drove a brand new vehicle i would definitely go with top quality, mines a 2014 so i go with midgrade, the price is great and the quality is very acceptable, they last almost as long but i don't mind because i do them myself,
Did you have to replace the rear pads again or just the rotors to correct this?
To guarantee My work, New pads will be installed with new rotors, otherwise if I use the shops cheap brake pads and a noise comes back, who do you think they will blame and guess who has to do the job over again..Not Me..all New is Required...
I told the Customer to just deal with the noise for now or if it gets real annoying then its gonna cost her to replace it all..hated to see her pay again for another shops wrong doing...
Really great explanation. Is turning rotors still a thing or is this no longer cost effective? Here in Oakland, California the local Toyota dealership shop rate is $200/hour. At the other end, my local Vespa/scooter shop rate is $165/hour.
Turning rotors is not a thing anymore, its a skill no one has taken on, there are not many machine shops around, some shops have an on the vehicle rotor cutter but then that takes time to set up and cut 1 rotor at a time if you're doing all 4. Much better ,faster, labor saving to replace all 4 and places like Autozone have rotors with 2-3 year warranty for defects and warpage and that is pretty much how long it will last till the next brake job.
@alyoungcuda cutting rotors is a thing in the 2 dealerships I've worked in but you probably how dealership prices be lol. Still recommend replacing rotors its equal cost with way less effort. Realistically you can cut them twice before they're too thin so technically it saves you money in the future.
Definitely and those machines that cut them on the car is a time saver
I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t replace the rotors if they are cheap. I live in massachusetts and stuff gets rusted out here so when it’s rotted away you just replace it, there is no saving it.
I'm a believer of that to, but people do it and alot of these oil change places sell brakes and just install pads and then customers complain a month later about grinding noises and guess what, they need rotors and of course you don't install the cheap brake pads they had installed because its your reputation on the line if it comes back as noisy.. always replace rotors with brake pads and you are good up to 2 years unless you are hard on the brakes 😆
@@alyoungcuda I never “turned” rotors. I just buy new ones. Cheap and easy and don’t have to mess with it for a few years
@@mediaguy4037 turning rotors are a skill that has not been taught in a long while..what sucked about it is that you go and spend the time to cut them, about 10 to 15 minutes only to find out they are too thin to install back on and you need to buy a new one..
But is it dangerous
No real mechanic shop will ever allow a vehicle to leave like that, its their reputation and the customer safety involved and yes the braking will be affected. You will see when just the pads are changed, you need more foot effort to make the vehicle stop, its not that instant grab, it feels like its on ice...
@@alyoungcuda thanks for explaining the symptoms
@@grapewater123 no worries, I get alot of customers that were sold brake pads only from oil change shops because that's the easy part to change and they come in saying it doesn't stop right or they have to step on the pedal hard to get it to stop but mostly its the noises like a train thats embarrassing they say, but in order to do the right job, everything has to be changed along with new brake pads.
Why didn't jyou just buy a pair of rotors and pads and change it yourself? It's so easy to do. I would of finished one side in the time it takes to watch this video.
Because it's Not my car..customer had the "brakes done" at a shop but a few months later complained that it made alot of noise thats embarrassing..and for her to spend money again to correct this would be up to her..I gave her the choice of either spending the money to do the job right or deal with the noise for the next year or so until the pads wear out. Its a shame that for the price they charged it was only pads only change. For what they charged in total, would of been rotors and pads and my labor included..oh well, thats why the video is out there so people will know...thanks for commenting and watching...like I said, it wasn't my money to spend..just troubleshooting and no one was charged for the advice...
