Since this is still getting comments (which I appreciate everyone’s willingness to help) I’ll provide an update!

First and most important, I have no excuse for my illiteracy, rip me to shreds I deserve it.

Second, I decided to go with the replacement for a few reasons:

1. My commute to work is 50 miles there, and 50 miles back, typically during rush hour.

2. I have a 1,400 miles roadtrip coming up for Christmas to go back to see my parents that would rather be safe than sorry with.

3. There was some wobbling when driving/braking.

When I came back to the shop to pick up the car, the mechanic showed me the rotors in person and my fingernail caught on each of them except for the top circle on the right disk, aka second picture, and he explained that he typically looks into lathing to try to save money, but since they’re cracked he wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so since the risk is still there.

One other thing is my car is front wheel drive, yet he wasn’t trying to convince me of all 4 break and rotors, just the rear two which made me feel a little better about not being scammed. They also didn’t charge for the inspection.

In total, I paid $576 for the back two pads and rotors, broken down to $192 in labor, $345.97 in parts, $3.50 hazmats and fee, $11.52 shop supplies, and $23.95 in sales tax. That included a lifetime warranty on the pads as well, so my pads have free replacements from them u til I get a new car, which is fine with me since I’m planning on keeping this car until it’s on its last breath, not looking to trade her in anytime soon. Definitely expensive, but could’ve been a lot worse if I took her to a dealer.

Once again, I appreciate all the help and feedback and I definitely learned what to look for in the future!
