Just to be clear, unless your pads were worn out and the indicator/caliper was rubbing on the rotor (what you are calling the "disc") there is no way they need to be replaced. At worst, they could be refinished through a process called "turning" (which is not always a viable option).

If you've never heard a screeching, or rubbing noise from your brakes, then the rotors are fine. Period. They won't just shrink in 20k miles from normal use.

I hate to be the devils advocate but I have 2012 Cruze and at @30K my front pads were worn only because of a problem I had with my front brake calipers. That and the back brakes not adjusting correctly. In any case, if you are concerned about it, I would take it to get another opinion. but listen for the noises you others have mentioned.

I am not disputing that the PADS may be worn and in need of replacement, but my impression was that they are telling him that his rotors are worn down. Maybe it's a misunderstanding, though.

For me my rotors were bad at 20K Miles and pads were shot about 60ish K miles. Replacing them both with quality parts usually prolongs that issue.

That seems backwards...

Yikes..

Luckily the "labor" was me @ $8 an hr stall fees in the base auto hobby shop so I only got partially taken of newly acquired freedom monies..

Oh man, I miss those. I used them so much I ended up getting "hired" at one for the weekends occasionally (made a little extra cash, but it was mostly for the awesome free stall time when they weren't being used)!
