Chipped rotor... FML. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Cheapo aftermarket rotors are lucky to see two years of service time in our climate. The pads usually outlast the rotors now, which is why shops offer "lifetime" pads. Every year or two, they just have to pay to replace their warped rotors and service the calipers. *sigh* Tis my never ending frustration at work.

I use OEM toyota rotors and they have been good for almost three years, and I'm on my third set of pads. Just service them once a year :)
