I replace the rotors when I have brakes done now. They are not that expensive. I do my own brake jobs because it usually takes me about 15 minutes per wheel. I use dust free pads that don’t really cost all that much.

Oh, and I just did the first job on my Scion xB. It had 115k miles on it. When you commute 122 miles a day on open highway you get a lot of miles out of your brakes. :-)

Yes, I can see that. My daily commute is 3 miles one way. A lot of stop and go. Obviously, most of the miles on the car are not my commute, but family vacations, where I pretty much ignore the existence of a brake.
