Can I get money for old rotors?
The brake rotors get recycled, and you get some spare cash. If you don’t live close to a scrapyard, you may wonder if the trip will be worth it, but there is no way to know how much you can get without calling the scrapyard for details. You can expect to get somewhere around $2 per rotor, but this can vary widely.
How much does it cost to balance rotors?
Your rotors can be turned (rotated), machines and still be within factory guidelines, but this usually leaves them thin whereby leaving them to warp or vibrate. The cost for turning a rotor runs anywhere from $15 to $25 per rotor.

How does the back of a brake pad work?
Brake pads feature a metal backing plate with friction material on its face that presses against the brake rotor surface to stop your vehicle. They are compressed by the brake caliper when it receives hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder.
Why are my brake pads squealing and grinding?
Brake pads naturally wear down over time, but it’s important to pay attention to their wear patterns. If the brake pads are squealing or grinding, they may have worn down to the backing plate, which can cause damage to the rotor. Brake pads that wear unevenly may indicate a problem with your brake caliper or guide pins.
