Lip on GS350 rotors
Took my GS to the local toyota dealer for a front brake service today. Got a call saying that there was a large lip on the rotors and they couldn't be surfaced. Car has 68k miles on it and only brake work was done around 25k, brake pads service bulletin, not sure if they surfaced rotors then or not. Does this sound right? Price given was 479 plus tax. Is that a reasonable price?

Not sure what they mean by that. At any rate, I find it's not really worth bothering turning rotors. Use them until they're clearly shot and then replace them with aftermarket rotors you can find online for MUCH cheaper which are just as good or better.

from what my tech has told me, the rotors on these cars arent that good and rarely does he see one that he can resurface and still meet specs.
$479, what does that cover? is that for a the front brake job including pads and rotors? id say thats reasonable considering the front rotors usually are about 125 a piece from lexus.
