Check prices for new rotors, mine was only about $10 more than turning, my last two trucks (84 Chevy, 94 Nissan)and wife's SUV (02 dodge) were the same and I haven't had rotors turned in 25 years
WTH are y'all driving |

for the record on my suburban it is cheaper to replace the pads and rotors than take it to the shop and have them turned.

My 1999 Ford Explorer when I change rotors and pads is labor/cost of pads/$100 axle for rotors. Labor is usually set price and whatever pads I want good/better/best.

I didn't think a lot of places even bothered with turning rotors/drums anymore. It's usually easier and/or cheaper to just put new ones on.

Buy new rotor/pads and save a ton. If your vehicle was made in the last decade replacing pads/rotors should be easy.

Everytime I "saved" money by having rotors turned they warped again in short order.
The turning process removes metal making them more prone to overheating and warping. Pay the extra for new rotors and install them and new pads yourself. Buy some new caliper pins and lube them and be sure to clean the slides with a wire brush and lube them with some good brake grease. |

Make sure you buy quality rotors and check that they are NOT warped. Torque down wheel nuts according to manufacturers instructions. ( I have seen people do it wrong and end up with a warped rotor. ) High quality rotors and changes pads before you HAVE TO and the rotors will last forever. Let the pads wear out and go metal on metal ...... shame on you! I buy used vehicles primarily ...... first things I do when I get them home. 1) New brake pads AND rotors. 2) Service all fluids - including flushing brake fluid.

Don't bother turning them, just buy new. Most places don't bother anymore and most rotors aren't made thick enough to even turn. And most rotors don't have enough thickness to make turning worth it or even possible.

F150 good quality front rotors a couple months ago were $40 each.
Very good quality pads on ebay were $26 a set. Front or rear. Installation, lets be generous and say 2 hours for just the front. So, that's about $100 vs. what the everybuddy else is paying. Also, I know the work was done right and nothing else was screwed with to get me to return to be suckered again. |

I did my car last week for about $125. Parts place wanted $30 to turn both rotors. They were only $35/each new. Went with Wagner Thermoquiet pads for $45. Hit Amazon.

You can almost get new rotors for the same price or cheaper then getting the old ones turned.
Also why would you pay to have your brakes done? They are one of the most simple things to change out. |

Rotors are too thin to turn most of the time. Fuel efficiency regs made turning rotors a thing of the past. I just did new pads and rototrs myself for under $200 including buying a c-clamp, caliper grease, and brake cleaner. Took about 2 hours, less time than I would have spent taking it to a shop.
Also, my dewalt cordless impact might not be as strong as my air tools, but it sure I handy for a brake job! ETA: Advance Auto Parts had a buy online, pick up in store 20% off offer, not sure if its valid still or you have one nearby. |

You can buy OEM pads on Ebay for about $40, and a set of new OEM rotors for an additional $100 or so. If you haven't done a brake job, it's easy. Not much more difficult than changing a tire. Half the work is getting the tire on/off the car. Lots of videos on Youtube. |

Installation, lets be generous and say 2 hours for just the front. You are two generous. I do brakes on my gravel driveway with a floor jack and jack stands. I can do pads only on both sides of the front in about 30 minutes. The only power tool I have is the impact wrench to remove the lugs. Throw in rotors and add another 30 minutes. Keep in mind I have experience with this and when I go out to do the brakes I take all needed tools, parts and supplies out with me the first time. Running back and forth for stuff is a wast of time. DRUM BRAKES are another story - take a little longer and yes I have vehicles with drums on the rear. |

few moths ago i did the front on my truck for around $285 for slotted rotors and hawk lts pads. last i priced turning rotors it was like maybe $35-50 each rotor to turn at oreillys.
if i went cheep and got cheep solid rotors i could of shaved off about $100 on that price. |
