What is the standard for knowing when to replace rotors on your vehicle versus just having them "turned"? My rotors are warped on my 03 maxima. Extreme heavy vibration when I brake to stop. Help please!

After performaing a brake job on my 99 Jeep Cherokee, the front wheels won't move! I've changed the rotors, the calipers, and the pads. When the wheels are off, the rotors will turn; when the wheels are on, they won't turn! Anyone experienced this?

What will happen if I don't get my rotors changed. I just had the brake pads changed and the tech. said that I need new rotors too. I also hear a clicking noise when i apply the brakes...Any idea what that is?

I had the front and back brake pads and front rotors replaced on my '96 Nissan Maxima, after 1000 miles the brake warning light has come back on and the brakes are not very strong...any ideas?

I just had new brakes, pads , & rotors on my 1993 vet. Now the brake lite just came on. Is it safe to drive till I get it checked out?
