My son noticed scraping noises in our Outback so I took a look and sure enough, one of the brake pads was down to metal. I've got plenty of old pads around (I throw away nothing) so threw in an acceptable pad. Meanwhile, he uses the car for college and other stuff. So I look around for rotors because at least one is trashed. Subaru $68 a piece, Auto Zone $58, turning the existing rotors $21 each. For fun, I check Rock Auto....$12. Yay. I order a set for this one and another for my wife's Crosstrek which is also due.
So tonight I pull the pads and head to Auto Zone. I bought the last set there so they have a lifetime wearout warranty. Yay, free pads. So back home, new rotors on, new pads for a total of $34.
