Braqke rotors not turnable on this car?
Just went to Meineke for the $29.95 brake pad special (would cost a total of $80 installed) and the guy told me that i would need new rotors because the ones on my car and the Infiniti are made of composite material and not turnable. I told him my rotors didnt need turned because they are still smooth. He said that new pads would still squeak if i put them on anyway.
Does all this sound right?

Yeah i thought it sounded fishy too. I used to change brake pads on all my cars and i never turned the rotors unless they were grooved, and ive never heard of rotors that couldnt be turned unless they have already been turned so much that there wasnt much rotor left.

Im gonna get the necessary tools this week, and next weekend, new brake pads are going on. I found a great thread on here with step-by-step instructions and photos of doing a brake pad change.
Meineke sucks!

Ya, I had my rotors turned once the first time I changed the pads, but the second time the shop told me they are passed the minimum width for turning.
I was shocked. I usually turn the ones on my accord atleast 2-3 times if need be.
