Hi. I've been in the automotive industry for over 40 years. I've worked in Auto Part Stores, been a mechanic for almost 20 years, and I've built and raced my own car. At 60,000 miles, if the brakes have been done before and the rotors resurfaced, they may very well not be able to be resurfaced again. Also, unless you know exactly what the parts look like that fit your car, they can give you back pads and rotors off any vehicle and 99% of the consumers wouldn't know the difference. The techs work on commission. They'll write up anything they can connected to a brake job to suck the life out of you. Most things they write, you physically can't even see to tell if they're new. IE: hardware, hoses, caliper bolts. The WORST place to trust your car to for honest service is a dealership or a chain repair shop. IE: Midas, Minekee, or any oil change quick lube. Oil change quick lubes will automatically tell you your air filter and cabin air filter need to be changed and try to sell you wiper blades as well. They all work on commission. That's why all that stuff is in stock. They have a better chance of you saying yes if you don't have to wait for the parts. Yes, it's a terrible way to do business but, it's been like that forever.
