I was getting my tires rotated today (2001 Sonata with 50,000 miles) and the auto shop told me that my front brake pads have only about 10% left and needed to be replaced very soon.
They quoted me a price that included replacing the front pads and rotors. I asked why the rotors had to be replaced and was told that it is always a good idea to do both at the same time.
As this is my first car, and as I know absolutely nothing about automobiles, I have a few questions:
(1) Is it normal to replace the front brake pads after 50,000 miles? (2) Should rotors be replaced with the pads? If not, when should the rotors be replaced?
Thanks, Mike
