Hi All: I took my car for brake service for my 98 Isuzu Rodeo 2WD. I asked about for the front wheel with disc brake. The mechanic told me since it is a 2WD. It requires to take out the bearing to re-surface the rotor. He said it is a must to re-surface the rotor, otherwise the new pad won't fit with the rotor and cause vibration. Then the price from orginailly quoted $120 becomes $240. Get double. I won't it everthing he said is correct. Wonder how much it will cost to do the re-surface for the rotor and replace pad in the fremont california area? Besides, it is a must to re-surface the rotor for new brake pad. If not, how much should it be? He said he won't warranty if I don't re-surface to rotor. Is it true it is a must? He makes me uncomfortable with the their service, but nothing else I can do except asking for expert comment.
Thanks wingbay
