Don't you think that maybe they wanted to sell you the rotors too? If the rotors are not warped, they will not warp suddenly just because you put new pads on. > I was trying to be pro-active > and work on them before they were making a grinding noise... but their > approach seems to align with the "ain't broke don't fix" mentioned below. > > It looks like a set of Brembo pads is ~$40...

Rotors are a bit more. Labor is the real killer expense wise if you have to pay for it. > Never bled brake lines before, Do this based on time, not miles. It will not effect your pads or rotor wear.
