Anyone else dealing with this? Changed the pads too obviously but pads were not completely worn. Shop said something about laminate? on the rotors? No noise or sound was ever made and I didn't feel the rotors being chopped up. Should've asked to see the pads and rotors or if there was uneven wear but things have been so crazy I forgot to do so and I'm home now.
Hello Littlewolfcsd and welcome to the forum.
It's not unusual for brakes to wear quickly in hilly areas. Not sure what your landscape looks like though Pennsylvania in general has a lot of hills & mountains though you are probably already aware of this.
Also, rotors rust. Especially after a humid, rainy period. Look at brake rotors next time you visit a car lot to see how long they've been sitting. If a car is driven on a regular basis that surface rust is abraded away keeping the rotor clean. If a car sits for an extended period that rust can accumulate. When the brakes are used next, that rough, rusty surface will remove more brake pad material than a smooth rotor surface. Not sure if this is a factor in your situation, but it's worth keeping in mind.
Also, are you experiencing a problem with your evaporative system? Just asking because you mention it in the title of your post but not in the body of your post.
Again, welcome.
