At about 30,000miles on my 2002 9-3, the dealer recommended I replace both the front brake pads and rotors. I knew the pads definitely needed replacing, but I was skeptical about the rotors. The dealer wanted to charge close to $600.
I checked with my Independent Saab mechanic, and he said I needed to change the pads only. The rotors were fine. The indy said that if I felt vibration coming from the brake pedal, then I may need new rotors. He also said that he rarely sees Saab rotors require replacement so early. The indy mentioned that he had a few clients who needed new rotors at around 25,000 miles, and the dealer replaced the rotors for free under goodwill.
