    Hi all, I'm at 105k miles on my toyota prius plug in 2013, and I brought it in for inspection to two different places. Both recommended a brake pad and rotor replacement due to them being at 3 mm. I'm reading online and seeing many people go much farther on the brake pads than 100k and just curious what is necessary to replace, since it's a fairly expensive replacement.

    I put the recommended maintenance below from both places:

    Thanks!

    3mm is not really low, but you don't want to reach zero right? If both places recommend it, you can get a 3rd opinion
