Any clues on why the dealership would say to machine the front brakes now and save some money on replacing them completely later, while a trusted indy mechanic is telling me that I already need to replace the rotors and pads because the rotors are now made softer and the pads will already be damaged?
I needed a new water pump last week, and the mechanic at the dealership told me I should be thinking about fixing the brakes. With the cold weather having already started here in Chicago, the brake warning light has started to come on. It seems to come on after I have stopped and then started again. Not really sure how to deal with the situation. Thanks for any help on this.
