From a rotor spec sheet, find the minimum thickness, from there take about a micrometer and measure. If it is below the minimum then you need to change your brake rotors.
Rotors do not generally need to be replaced unless there has been extensive damage to them from driving on extremely worn down break pads. If you waited too long to change your break pads then you may want to consider replacing them. If not, you don’t need to worry about it.

What is replaced with brake repair?
Most often a brake repair simply involves replacing the brake pads. If the pads have worn too much though the rotors or drums will also need to be resurfaced or replaced. In more serious cases the master cylinder that controls the brake pressure will be replaced. Brake lines rarely if ever need to be replaced.
How often should rotors need replaced?
When they are warped or worn beyond legal limits.
How often should rotating brake rotors be performed to ensure optimal performance and safety of a vehicle?
Rotating brake rotors should be performed every 15,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Your vs commodore shakes when you brake you replaced the pads will rotating the wheels make any difference?
Disk brake rotors will warp when the overheat. Riding the brakes, a lot of downhill or other heavy, continuous braking can result in an overheated rotor which can cause brake pulsing. Some call it 'brake chatter'. Often the rotors can be "turned" to make them even again, but if the rotors have worn down already or if the manufacturers specs have been exceeded, turning won't be an option and you'll need to buy new rotors. You can't inspect them to determine if they're warped, but if the vehicle has brake chatter, the rotors are warped.
How often should avid bb7 brake pads be replaced to ensure optimal performance?
Avid BB7 brake pads should be replaced every 500-1000 miles for optimal performance.
How often should I rotate brake rotors to ensure optimal performance and longevity of my vehicle's braking system?
It is recommended to rotate brake rotors every time you replace brake pads, which is typically every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your vehicle's braking system.
How often do you need to change brake pads or rotors on a 2006 Jeep Liberty?
Brake pads on a 2006 Jeep Liberty typically need to be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits and conditions. Rotors may last longer, often around 70,000 to 100,000 miles, but should be inspected for wear and warping each time the pads are changed. It's important to listen for squeaking or grinding noises, which can indicate that the pads need attention. Regular maintenance checks are crucial for optimal brake performance.
How often is it reasonable to expect to have to replace the rear rotors on a 2000 VW Beetle?
Almost never-- unless you have a E-brake dragging due to a stuck cable or a brake calipher dragging. If this is the case you will burn out rotors one after another.The E-brake cable should return to the full off position and the calipher should retract fully. I hope this helps you. Mark
Reasons Why You Should Replace Rotors?
There will come a time when you have to replace your rotors. The rotors are an essential part of your car’s braking system, as the brake pads grab on to the rotor, using friction to slow down and stop your car. While rotors do not need to be replaced as often as brake pads, they still require regular servicing in order to remain an effective part of the braking process. There are plenty of reasons why you should have your rotors replaced. One reason is that over time, rotors can become suspectible to developing grooves and gouges, especially if brake pads are not changed in time. As the brake pads wear, there is a greater potential for the pad hardware to come in contact with the brake rotor. When contact occurs, deep grooves can be scored in the surface of the rotor. Eventually, the rotor will have a number of deep grooves that can interfere with normal braking. If you can feel deep grooves in the rotor surface with your fingernail, then your rotors need to be replaced. Warping from excessive heat can be another reason for replacing your rotors. Rotors are also tasked with dissipating heat that is caused by the friction of the brakes. When the rotor material becomes too thin, the rotor can lose its ability to channel heat away from the brakes. Excess heat can cause the rotors to warp, leaving what should be a perfectly flat surface looking more like a warped paper plate. The warping is minute to the naked eye, but it often presents itself as excess pulsation when the brakes are applied. Rust is also another reason to replace your rotors, especially if you have a vehicle that has been sitting outside for a long period of time. As the rotors are kept exposed to the elements without the benefit of friction keeping the surface clean, surface rust can develop on the rotor. Rusted rotors are definitely not as effective when it comes to stopping a vehicle.
How often should v-brake pads be replaced to ensure optimal performance and safety?
V-brake pads should be replaced every 1,000 to 2,000 miles or when they are worn down to 1mm thickness to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Why does your 1999 grand am shakes when you brake stop?
What you're describing sounds like "disk brake chatter". It's a condition caused by warped rotors. Rotors often warp when they're old and/or have been overheated.
How often do rotors need to be replaced on a Mercedes?
It depends on your driving style and the condition of the calipers. If you ride the brakes or otherwise drive in such a manner as to cause the brakes to overheat, the rotors will warp prematurely. If you are constantly in stop-and-go driving conditions you will wear out the brake pads and rotors much faster than someone who drives greater distances and seldom uses the brakes. I've seen some people who get little more than 20,000 miles from brakes and/or rotors. My last brake pads and rotors had over 70,000 miles when I changed them, but then, we drive long distances here.
