Im not the most educated on automotive mechanical stuff but lets see if someone can help me out here.
I took my truck in back in November and asked them while they had it to look at the brakes because I was beginning to get some wobble from what felt like the rear. They told me everything looked good at this time.
Fast forward to today, I drop it off for an oil change and inspection and ask them to take a look at the brakes again and explain I'm still getting the same wobble. They call me back and say its time for new pads in the front (completely understandable) and that I will need new pads and rotors in the back because they wont be able to machine the rear rotors anymore.
4 months ago I asked them to look at the brakes specifically so I didn't get in a position to have to replace the rotors again. Could it be normal to go from everything looking good to needing not only pads but rotors as well in the span of around 5,000 miles or are they trying to rip me off.
Here's to kicker, they replaced my pads and rotors on all 4 wheels roughly 29-30k miles ago. When they replaced them I was told I had a 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty on that work. This puts their brake inspection from last November (5k miles ago) right around the 24k mile warranty limit. I am going to dig through all my receipts to verify mileage at previous visits. If those repairs were still under warranty at that time and now I am needing new rotors I'm going to be making some phone calls to some higher ups.
