Dealer tells me that front pads need replacement at total cost of nearly $600. I've only driven 9500 mi. Anyone else replace pads at 9500 miles?

Default Generally, at what intervals are people replacing brakes?
Do you always need to do the rotors as well?

I just had mine replaced (front and back) at 30K, rotors also.

I do mostly city driving w/ a couple of freeway runs a week.

Default Front Pads at 15K on S6. 63/35 City/Hway driving.
I still thought that was awful quick. Never seeemed to need them that fast when everything was covered on Audi Advantage!

Strongly depends on what kind of driving you do. e.g. highway v's stop and go.
