Volvo 240 Front Brake Rotor Resurfacing 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe Pulkowski on  Wed Nov 23 01:27 CST 2005 [RELATED]

INMO, Dealers, volvo or any other car brand, are notorious for telling customers they need new brakes and resurface of rotors, almost no one says no when they are told they need new brakes. The one time I took my Mazda MPV to the dealer for its 30K service (it was under waranty, i thought, ok Ill try them) Mid morning I got a call , manager said, new brakes and resurface was recomended total would be $350. I called the napa store, total for new pads, new rotors would be 100, so i told the dealer no, and picked up the parts on the way home. When I pulled the wheels off the pads had 90% of material left on them, the rotors were in spec, like new. Ive heard similar stories from others.

In our area, machine shop time is more than new rotors are worth.
