Hi,
So I went to the dealer this weekend because I got tired of my pulsating brakes. The pads were OK but after inspection, they claim the rotors were likely the originals which is odd considering the car has 133,000 miles. I bought the car from the same dealer when it had
65,000 miles. Makes me wonder why changing the rotors/brakes wasn't done by this same dealer prior to selling me the car.Any way, they replaced the rotors with after market rotors and Toyota OEM brake pads. The difference is amazing... no more pulsating stops. Feels great.
Is there much of a difference between after market rotors and OEM? I'm guessing and/or hoping the dealer would use high quality after market rotors, not cheap ones but never know. If I have issues, I would certainly make them replace them with OEM ones.
So far so good.
I was charged $236 for new rotors and pads, that includes labor. No taxes. This was from Lithia Toyota/SCION in Medford, Oregon.
Thanks!
