front Brake Rotor Crystallized??
Went to a mechanic today to see why my 2000 neon's brakes squeak. I thought it was the pads and was ready to get them changed but he said the pads still had life left. He said that the rotors were crystallized. What does it mean when they are crystallized and can that cause them to be squeaking? He said if he changed the pads, if wouldnt make much of a difference, that i would still hear the noise. He quoted me 180 parts and labor and 1 year warranty. Thanks

My rotors looks similar to this:

rusted looking on the outer edge like that one pictured

Crystallized rotors? That's a new one. The rusting has nothing to do with the squeaking IMO. Perhaps said mechanic meant the rotors were glazed? That's from overheating. If that's the case, they'd need to be turned. My front rotors are screwed at this point, so I'm just living with the squeak until I need new pads. Though, it doesn't squeak all the time.

they actually do look shiny like if they were glazed..
Also, does the fact that they are glazed cause them to make noise?
if anything, what is recommended, change them or get them turned?]
