According to my VMI, the original owner replaced the front pads and rotors at 38k miles. And here I am replacing those front rotors after 50k miles.

$484 plus tax for the front pads, rotors and sensor including labor. $182 plus tax for the rear pads, labor and sensor. $713 out the door in total. Better than the $1,600 the dealer wanted.
What rotors did they use to replace the old ones?

Not sure of the manufacturer of the rotors he used. I believe he gets his parts from a local auto parts wholesaler or store (not the dealer) and they are OE equivalent.
