Replacing Front Brake Pads and Rotors
Hello Out There!
I have a 2001 QX4....I took my car into the mechanic the other day to check the brakes due to a squeeling sound...he said the front brake pads need to be replaced and further recommends replacing the rotors rather than re-surfacing them...He said he could re-surface but with Infiniti and other high end cars, it is better to replace the rotors as re-surfacing makes the rotors thinner and would in any event start sqeeking again in a short period of time...The difference in price seems to be about a $100 each (25 to re-surface each rotor vs. 120 per new rotor).....Do you folks agree with his recommendation?....If you do, does $550 for the whole job sound like a fair price?...Thanks for reading and offering any opinions and advice on this matter. |
