Q: The rotors got warped the second time

asked by on May 25, 2016

Hello. My car has 95,000 miles on it. I have had issues with rotors that became warped the second time. I was wondering if I could put rotors from the aftermarket this time. What could cause them to become warped? Thank you in advance.
