Looking for a mechanic for my wife's Volvo. She needs new brakes and rotors I know its going to be expensive so just let me know.
Just go to OSAs own 4play
Why do you think it needs rotors?
My wife took her car in to get the oil changed today and she had them check the brakes. She said the brakes have been grinding. They call and tell us that it needs new brakes and rotors. The mechanic shows me the rotors and he tells me they can't be turned. I really don't know enough about rotors to know if they are bad are not.
i have a shop in sw okc. i also have my own brake lathe for turning rotors. i do ALOT of brakes. if your rotor is grinding metal to metal then they may not be able to be turned. if they arent i can prob turn them.
The mechanic said they are grinding metal to metal.
I just went here today and saved a ton of money

Millers garage in Yukon is the best and cheapest around that I have been able to find. He has always done me right.

Volvo's corporate stance is that if the rotors need turning, replace the rotor. They act as a heat sink for the pads. When you turn the rotor you remove metal. Less metal=less of a heat sink and warpage will happen quicker and more severe with the turned rotors. Most Volvo parts are fairly cheap. Just remember that with brake parts you get what you pay for.
