[quote=Anonymous]I took my car for an oil change at the dealership today and they told me there is surface rust on the two rear rotors and that since the breaks have reached half their life I would probably need to change them soon so I should just have them clean the rust and change the breaks today.

The car has 20k miles, I did a rotation 6 months ago at a different place and I wasn’t told about the rust, can rust develop in 6 months? I never had this problem with my previous car, I drove it for 15 years. Also, not sure why the problem with rust and breaks is in the rear only. I would think that all rotors would have the issue.

The guy I spoke with over the phone was focused on pricing and the longer I took to respond the more discounts he “found”. The last quote he gave me was about $360 but then he kept adding maintenance I should do and with that he would give me an extra discount...it was very confusing because the cost kept going up with extras then going down with discounts and my head was spinning.

Where can I take the car for a second opinion and should I be upfront by telling them what I need them to check rotor rust and breaks?[/quote]
