That's a good point! Ill have to ask about that. Maybe the best thing would be to ask which rotor was messed up and if they say its the one on the axle that had the bad bearing I would probably have a good argument.

Brakes are so simple to replace, do it yourself. You don't even need to remove the calipers to replace the pads, although it sounds like you need to service the rotors anyways. Auto stores cut rotors for 10 bucks usually. And you can buy pads for under 100
I looked into the pad replacement procedure. I didn't realize that the replacement process was so simple with this car! After shopping around with other brake shops, I found that the price I got from my dealer was pretty competitive (about $20 more than the average brake shop), so I just told them to go ahead and take care of it. Now I know for next time that its easy to do. Just dont have the time right now.
