Dealer or shop for pads and rotors?

My '19 is at 60k and im wanting to change out the pads and rotors. Brakes starting squeaking about a week ago.
Am I better off getting it done at the dealership or a private shop. If its suggested that I go to a private shop, any particular brand of rotors/pads that are best? Ive had vibration issues since I drove it off the lot and hoping new rotors and pads might possible address the vibrations as well. Nothing else has. Its minimal but still bothers me, especially when im in a shitty mood..

 

Any particular reason you don’t want to do it?
I like Hawk stuff. They are the most non Chinese made stuff you can get.
And they stop well. Tire Rack has the best deal on them.

 

I have no problem taking it to the dealer to get it done if there is nothing to worry about. I have used the dealer for everything thus far and all has gone well. I remember reading a comment from another post about brakes where someone suggested (if I remember correctly) that there were better alternatives regarding rotors and pads. I figured I'd check with you guys, the real pros.

 

Having just had my front rotors and pads replaced I recommend going with non-OEM brakes and rotors installed at the shop. Buy the materials and have the shop do the install. It will be cheaper then the dealer installing OEM parts and you get a better product as long as the shop is reputable. I got an EBC brake kit and I love it.

 

Chances are your rotors are fine unless warped. I'd go with oem pads, and a tire rotation and balance just might fix your vibration. YouTube is your friend and pads are really easy to swap yourself. Might even have a family member, neighbor, coworker, or friend that can and will mentor you.

 

+1, unless you are feeling a pulsing in the pedal when applying brakes the rotors are fine. I really doubt the rotors are the source of the vibration. If you want to throw parts at the issue go ahead. If you go in to a dealer telling them you need rotors they will be counting their coins and invite you right in. It always amazes me how hard some people are on brakes. I can get over 100k out of pads and I tow a boat fairly often. Now if you live in a really hilly area like WV it is a different story. My ex could go through brakes 4x faster then me. Her foot was always on one pedal or the other.

 

Dealer should be willing to install after market pads and rotors as long as you supply them.
