That rust appears to be the same kind that develops inevitably over time with use. However, if they resemble the rotors in the picture that you provided then they should still be fine. It's quite possible that your rotors have developed rust in that time. What would you guys do in this situation? Is the mechanic correct? Ī few articles I found online state that rust on rotors is harmless. Unfortunately I don't have a picture in front of me but the condition of my old brakes looks very similar to this.
He says that since the car has been unused for a while, this is expected although most online articles I'm reading are stating that fluid change is enough after car has been unused for several months to a couple years. The final bill is coming out to be pretty expensive. The car is a 2004 A4 Audi, I went along with his suggestion but after realizing that he's changing the rotors too (which he didn't mention at first), I'm concerned that he may be doing unnecessary work. The guy told me that I need new brakes/rotors and an oil change (despite the low mileage on my rotors). Yesterday I took my car out and went to get an inspection sticker.
I had my car brakes replaced about 2 years ago, since then I've driven about 4000 miles (I work downtown and tend to use public transit) after which I disconnected the battery and stopped using my car (for almost a year).
