I will ask my other “trusted mechanic” to check the minimum rotor thickness stamped on them whether resurfacing will not exceed the engineering tolerances. I know it’s now an exercise in futility but I just have an inquiring mind and a lighter wallet.
Health hazard per service advisor comes from the dust generated by resurfacing the special material of the rotor. I just wanted to shake my head in disbelief.
I didn’t have any choice but go along with their recommendation because I didn’t want to take any unnecessary risk. I go to the mountains once a month on a winding and very scenic two lane highway over 8,400 feet high. If I enjoy the view too much while driving or if the brake overheats, the car will have to be replaced prematurely if I would be so lucky. That is why I bit the proverbial bullet for the recommended routine $1,200 repair.
Thanks for your reply.
