That's fairly standard procedure at the major Brake Service Outlets..

I know mechanics who have worked at both Midas and one other place.. They first thing they teach these guys is that any customer coming in for a brake job needs "CPR". "CPR" stands for Calipers, Pads, Rotors. This is not an isolated situation, believe me.

Yeah lady, your calipers are frozen and need to be replaced, your rotors are warped, we can turn'em but it might be dangerous, oh, and you need 4 new pads.

THey even pulled this crap on me before i knew better. A young college student with no money, and even knowing that this would mean Ramen noodles for a month for me, they did it anyway. B@stards
