I have heard that Advance is less willing to replace than Autozone - Autozone replaces with no questions. Unfortunately Autozone does not seem to have lifetime warranty rotors.
I haven't had a problem with Advance so far, so maybe it depends on the store or manager. In addition, at Advance you have to have the receipt, while Autozone keeps the records for you. Used to go to AZ for everything, but the $50 coupon at Advance makes them a better deal sometimes.
When I have asked the online customer service at Advance about the lifetime warranty, they say to call if I ever have a problem and they will take care of it. However, if you read the actual warranty terms, Advance could argue their warranty excludes wear and tear, so they might have a basis to not replace brake pads. AZ does not exclude normal wear, so they just replace them without question.
Wow, those are expensive parts. Checked Advance, they want $70 each for the rotors and another $20 for the pads - so still about $110 for lifetime warranty parts, even with the coupon.
