Hey guys, I have a 2021 golf 110tsi and the brakes squeal occasionally (at 89000 Km), so the pads probably need to be replaced. So I took it to the local shop and asked them how much it would be to replace them, and they said , since the rotors are basically "throwaway" items these days , they're gonna replace my front pads and rotors together. So, a few questions:
- Are rotors actually "throwaway" as they say, or are they just trying to get the better of me? And should it cost that much to replace just the front pads and rotors?
- Where can I get OEM pads and rotors myself to change myself?
- if they are gonna change the pads and rotors anyway, should I just run the brakes down until they're really squeaky before I turn them in?
Thanks guys
