We have an '06 RX 400h with just under 49k miles. Our dealership just told us we need all new brake pads, and strongly pushed us to getting all new rotors because, you know, they always recommend replacing the pads & rotors at the same time. This is going to run us well over $600, but for some reason (I may be alone in this) I'm just don't have faith that my dealership is being honest and straightforward with me. So I'm looking for some opinions...
What should we be expecting for brake life? I thought with the regenerative braking system that we'd see longer brake life. We had a 4-Runner before this from which we got longer brake life.
Do we really need to replace pads + rotors at the same time? Or are we just being hosed?
