IMO it depends on your driving style. My rear pads/rotors were replaced at 70k, and front are at 130k. Aftermarket pads are excellent, but you need to make sure you get pad material that works with the new rotors.

FWIW, I've also had horrible experiences with Midas.

They replaced the pad and resurfaced the rotors. I will be going for my next service with state inspection within a month. Let’s see what surprises I get this time.

I need to replace wiper inserts but can’t find OEM online. Ordered it from one place but they cancelled the order stating it is no longer available.

I replaced my wiper inserts with Rain-X “beam” style for about $9 each. Super cheap and super easy if you want to do it yourself. Takes about 30 seconds, hardest part is pushing the little clip to slide out the old.

@yeller, thanks. Will keep that in mind next time. I bit the bullet and got them replace back then. Given the autonomous braking I didn’t want the system to ruin rotors. I was disappointed as well. I always scared going in for service ?

Completely understand. We have the same backup system.

BTW, did the dealership replace or resurface your rotors? Or just install new pads?

coop64, you can always wait until the break pad wear-indicator starts squealing. That will give you more time to finalize your decision and ensure you're not getting screwed into replacing pads/rotors early.

15k is too early, the dealership needs to check the caliper pins/etc... to make sure something is aligned.
