Thanks for the feedback. I did just move here and I drive through the mountians on many weekends. Still I've always been careful to anticipate when traffic is slowing down and to not hammer on the brakes. I don't know who's right. The brake shop won't do the pads unless they replace the rotors too. I asked why they don't just "turn" them and their response was that there's not enough thickness remaining in the rotor. The Saab dealer here charges an equivalent price for just the pad replacement (no rotors). I trust the dealer more, but expect that they'll tell me I need rotors only after they put my car on the lift. With quotes for $460 for front and rear pads + $570 for a new center muffler, this car is becoming more expensive to drive than i ever expected.
