That depends on how many miles you have to help your question.

I hear the rotors like to warp because of the way the caliper works and having to always be careful to use the correct torque of 83 ft-lbs in a star pattern to keep everything equal on the hub-rotor run-outs. Any more or less in areas can cause a runout on the rotors later when driving. Especially when hard braking is done. If a shop does any work with Air tools torquing the lug nuts that alone can cause problems if not done correctly in a star pattern or just using excessive torque and not enough in other spots. An air tool should only be used to snug each of the lug nuts. You must always use a torque wrench on the Tundra's lug nuts. If not This could warp the rotors and worse sometimes the hub itself and future rotors until its corrected. When installing new rotors Always check Runout to see it is "True" mounted to the hub. Sure... good aftermarket rotors have the runout dialed in but that doesn't mean when theyre installed on a warped hub that they'll stay true. Even my Cyro Powerslot Rotors instructed you must check the run-out like I mentioned installed on the hub with it saying on the top of the instructions the runout is already set. On the rotor.
