Brake Pads/Rotor Question for Scion 2009 xb

[Danny]

Hey guys,

Had a question about the brakes on my 2009 Scion xB. I had them tested and the front brake pads are at 2mm, which I know needs to be replaced….my question has to do with the rotors. The shop said “they might as well get replaced”…that usually tells me that I dont need to do those right now.

Here are the numbers her gave me on the front rotors:

Left side: .0.921
Right side: 0.919

From what I can find on the internets is that measurements should be no less then .984….

I don’t know jack crap about breaks so I was just looking for advise if they need to be replaced based on those numbers or if they were trying to get one over on me….which I kinda feel like they are.

Thank you guys!

Danny

how many miles are on the car? are they the original pads and/or rotors?

if the rotors are below the minimum thickness then they should be replaced….. if they are rusted then they should be replaced. if they are within the thickness spec then they may be able to be machined

rotors are not too expensive for an xB if you buy them yourself, having a shop do the work will result in paying the “list” price on everything
