Question

Help answer this question below.

My mechanic claims it's normal on newer cars to replace both the rotor and pads on disk brakes, due to the need for softer, non-asbestos pads. He says it is rare these days to turn down the rotors. 2004 Lexus RX330 owner.

    Well you can turn rotors...but new ones are pretty cheap. Myself I go with new rotors every time. They are thicker and have less chance of warping.
