Default Front & Rear Rotors

I understand that you can not turn rotors on 2006 93 cars, you replace the rotors when you have to replace the pads.
Is that true?
It is going to be expensive if I am going to keep the car. My old company car was warping rotors due to Ford service guys working on the car & it was running $ $$ everytime Ford did brakes!!
I was hoping my new Saab was going to better on brakes than my old Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
Thanks,
Mark

Default RE: Front & Rear Rotors

Just had my rear pads and rotors changed on my 2006 9-3 Aero at 24,000. My SAAB dealer in Dallas charged $480.00, of that $175.00 was labor. From what others have told me, its common to change the rear every 25K or so. Fronts around 50K.

Go To RotorPros.com they will sell you the front and rear crossed drilled and sloted rotors with low dust pads plus shipping for $350.00. You can have any shop put them on for less than $150.00.
