Rotors for a 2010 Civic Already?
Hello all,
I noticed a squeak in the breaks on my 2010 Civic so took it, immediately, to a place I think I trust. He told me my pads need to be replaced as well as my rotors.
He said there may be something wrong with the calipers that made the rotors wear badly, but didn't suggest replacing the calipers.
Is it normal that the rotors would need replacing after 26,000 miles or am I, possibly, getting...well...screwed?
I want to trust this guy and the total is $350 so not completely ridiculous, but I am being cautious. Any thoughts?

Calipers won't affect rotor wear, unless they're actually contacting the rotor.
Pad compound and driver habits will affect rotor wear. Failure to bed the pads properly will lead to excessive rotor wear. Incorrect pad compound choice for the conditions used can lead to excessive rotor wear.
Sounds like you didn't keep the pads bedded, and/or used too aggressive of a pad compound for the amount of heat (or lack there of) you regularly got into the system. Replace the rotors and use a more appropriate pad compound after properly bedding them.

Sounds like a seized slider pin, replace the pads and rotors. Service the sliders and you're good to go. Learn to do this yourself and save $$$$
