I've heard that the rotors are replaced with the pads. apparently, the rotors get worn down to "provide the driver with exceptional brake feel" I dont know if its true, and I was just a little curious.

the guy that does service on my car said that you should replace them with the pads, something about preventing warping i think

More non turnable rotors??? What happened to the good old days when you could turn rotors and drums 3-4 times???
With all the advancements in pad material, you would think they could bring rotor chewing to a minimum.

I work for saturn of bellevue and the storys i get from people about their saturn and how much they love them is amazing.
Ive hated all my car buying experiances until I bought my saturn so I can vouch for the reason why the tied with lexus in csi. but also took first place in jd powers for service satisfaction, so I dont believe the duct tape story.

Can't please all the people all the time. But certain dealers go out of their way to try!!
There are only two places I will send my wife to get work done without me there. Saturn service dept. and Discount Tire. I don't dare send her to either of the Ford dealerships in my area. That just turns into a head banging experiment every time.

My favorite was when they called her about 2 hrs after dropping off my truck. They told her it needed and oil change, transmission fluid change, rear end fluid change, and a full brake job.
The oil had been replaced two day prior and was still clear. And a week before that I had changed the tranny fluid and the rear end fluid with synthetic. When I got off work I went and checked the brakes and found they had about 50% pad left on all 4. The tech then stumbled, and tried to tell me that the grooves in the rotors and drums were going to cause a problem with the ABS system. I just shook my head, and told him that it was a good thing I wasn't working for the BAR or I'd write his ass up. All this to get the wiper motor replaced under recall.

It just seems worse for the females.. They pretty much have to arm themselves with a lot of knowledge before dealing with most service departments. It's a shame, you would have thought that mentality died many moons ago.

Isn´t Saturn the least important brand in GM? Or is it Oldsmobile? I don´t know. I just know most drivers of Saturn are young drivers, I have many friends (ages 16-18) that drives SL and SC in USA. When did the company started? Around ´85? If so they´ve won costumers pretty fast.

Saturn celebrated 10years this year.
The town I live in has a lot of retired people living there. It would appear that the S series is the car of choice for them too. When you ask any of them how the feel about their car (you'd better be prepared for a long talk-- you know the elderly) they will tell you they love it. I think some of the popularity is that they can tow them behind their motorhomes with all 4 on the ground an not worry about burning up the automatic transmission
