The brakes really should be done very soon. The dealer felt the rotors could be resurfaced, but since I can't resurface them myself, and its still cheaper to replace it all myself, I figured new rotors are a good way to go. BTW, the car has 74K miles and this is the first brake job.
I guess I need to go buy a pair of C clamps.  |
Dave-
You can take the rotors off and take them to an auto store to get resurfaced yourself. It's been a while since I did it but it was only a few bucks a rotor.
