Car was done after a few hours. As expected the rear rotors were fine and actually had 1.5mm left before the minimum thickness. I guess that's about 50% wear - not bad for 87k miles. Mechanic said they might need replacement when it's time for new pads. However, the front rotors did not meet the minimum specs so those were replaced. My car must just eat front rotors. 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.
