Rusted rotors

Well, I've got three weeks on my new rotors after getting them replaced because of excessive rust on the hubs. Seems they didn't fix the problem, just put new, rust-ready hubs back on my car. NOW they say they're ordering me a set of zinc-coated rotors, and I have to go back AGAIN! Am I the only one having this problem? If not, how did your dealership handle it?
 
I painted mine. :)

You're lucky Mazda is replacing your rotors in the first place due to RUST. I can't get mazda to replace the rotors due to Warpage for the second time around.
 
Yeah you're lucky your dealer do this. Good job on yours Natey, pretty pro job. I'll do this on mine as sooon as it's hot enough.
 
I can vouch that your lucky they are gonna do it at all... my dealer is fu*king the dog and putting it off cause they dont want to do it. bastards

maybe i should get mazda to buy me a car cover since birds s*** on it all the time....

Why would you say that? Rotor hubs aren't supposed to rust. Only the faces of rotors are supposed to rust. Rotors that are made well have a good coating on the hubs that prevent them from rusting.

Every car gets dumped on, but most cars come with rotors that have hubs that don't rust.
 
Yeah, that was my thinking. Why did I pay all that money for stupid s*** like this? I mean, if if the car had hubcaps, I wouldn't care about thr rotor rust. But I'll be goddamned if I'm going to put up with this s*** on a brand new car!! (Oh, and dominoy2k1, **** you.)

Oh, I'm sorry, I must have stumbled into the "jr. high school" forum...
 
Just paint them yourself - it's not like it's that tough. The dealers will of course be bitches about it, so it's a lot easier to just bite the bullet and throw some paint on their on your own.
 
ohh i was waiting for the mother "joke". as long as you give me the child support i am cool. ill check this thread later. i am off to austin.
