My local Audi dealer said that my A4 brake pads should not be replaced on its own but the rotor should be changed at the same time. Is this true ? I have a 2010 model, and have done around 50K miles on the clock.

 

Really depends on how grooved or warped the rotors are. On newer cars there isn't a lot a metal to be able to "turn" them (bring them back to good shape). I have replaced just the pads on my Audi without doing the rotors. Next time around I will have to do both pads and rotors though. Might be a good idea to go to an independent shop to have the brakes checked out.
