Ever since asbestos brake pads were discontinued, and replaced with metallic brake pads, new rotors are required with a brake job. We used to be diligent to replace the brake pads before they completely wore out so the rotors didn’t get damaged. Now a days, drive it until the brakes grind, the rotors will need to be replacing anyways, so why not? Hopefully the northern road salt and chemicals didn’t rust out the brake calipers before you moved to the Villages? That will be roughly an additional $100 per wheel. Best of luck!
I paid $250 for front brake pads and rotors 2 years ago. And nope, I'm not saying where because it's a little outside the bubble and I don't want them getting too busy. Many here have recommended my shop, but I'm selfish.

I agree.

We have been going to Wildwood Tire for 10 years (probably because of your recommendation in 2015) and we have been very pleased with the service they have provided.
