I went in for my 15K service and they replaced my rotors and brake pads. I didnt even ask them to, they just did it. At first they were going to machine the rotors, but their machine was busted so they placed some new ones on there. Should I be suspicious?? Is there a way to check to see if I have ben had??

They placed an order of "revised" brake pads and rotors for me like 2 weeks ago. They finally come and I am getting them install today.

I will see if I can get the service bulletin number for you all tonite when i go pick up.

thholr,
Which dealer are you going to? Nalley did mine with no questions asked and I had 24k on my car at the time!!
I hope this may help you..

This may be a naive question, but I'm too lazy to do a search.....how do you know when rotors are warped or on their way out?! Never had this happen to me.

here is what is going to be on your work order, a sequential number, the dealers name, address, phone website maybe a catchy phrase, your info, name, address, phone, vin, license, delivery date, warranty expiration date, color, make model, stock number, the current date, time repair was written, time it was posted, some repair lines like:
customer states vehicle shudders when braking from med to highway speeds
then on the invoice you will see some op-codes, (i've covered these before) and operation code is a number or letter/number combination that tells acura what was done to your vehicle when the claim is submitted, some parts listed with there part numbers, totals if any on the bottom or $0.00 if it was warranty, and a place to read the standard fine print and a place to sign, there is no secret to a work order, its just an invoice

you will feel a shudder in the vehicle when braking, more noticeable when hot or at higher speeds, most pulsation is not noticed if it is less than 4 thousandths out of round

this is starting to annoy the shit out of me: some dealers replace the rotors, other will only machine them, and yet others refuse to do it at all. My perception of Acura continues to change...

If my rotors keep getting warped and all the dealership does is shave them, does this effect the life of my break pads? If so, should it be covered?
