The good rotor may have had some wear on it and they may be replacing the pads as well.
So it is in the owners best interest to replace both rotors since they are installing new pads since the rotors cannot be machined.

Liu took the car to a Richmond repair shop, where she obtained a much cheaper quote for the subframe. However, she discovered the subframe can only be bought by an Aston Martin-approved technician and the only approved facility in B.C. is BA.
| Richmond shop probably quoted a subframe from a wrecked AM.

Who thinks that this situation with the mainlander's Aston and the repair shop will be resolved faster than the resolved situation with DrMike, Scamthony Espinoza, and the Lexus? 
Get your popcorn ready. This is gonna be good.

Since then, Liu’s 007 replica has been languishing in the luxury bodyshop of Burrard Autostrasse (BA) in Vancouver.
| Ill update more when I get more info..  Last I heard this lady is in China right now which is even prolonging this issue and adding to her storage fees.

Mainlander lady thinks that this problem with her Aston's repairs will go away if she spends some time in the old country?
Talk about irresponsible behaviour and apathy!

I bet someone from MM or vscc or whatever that fob club is called is schooling her to take it from shop to shop and question what the bodyshop is telling her.

I've always thought it was common knowledge you should replace rotors in pairs.
From reading this thread, apparently not...

I agree with her in a sense that the repair bill is ridiculous. I wish more pictures of the damage was visible.
As for brakes and rotors yes for sure you should replace them in pairs.

Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that if anything is wrong with the car and this idiot crashes it again, if the repair isn't done 100% to spec, it's gonna be BA's ass on the line.
So obviously they will replace everything.
Not that that car will ever be fixed. They'll just put a lien on it eventually and take it.

Is it common to have only basic insurance for expensive cars like this?
She should just sell the car for cheap, somebody might fix it up as a project.

From reading this thread, apparently not... | not sure what it's like for carbon brake rotors. i can't find the post i read elsewhere but it was on a porsche forum where someone was asking if he could replace just one disc that got scored badly from a stone caught in the pad, and because there was little wear in the rotors he was hoping to get away with just the one because of the replacement cost.
on a side note, would a "chip" in a carbon disc would mean it would start to fray and come apart under load?
ie this: 
becomes this (not the same rotor):

You would think she wouldn't have it rotting in a shop, but rather her large driveway where it wouldn't be racking up a massive storage bill. Then again she doesn't seem that bright to begin with. Basic insurance coverage, driving a performance car she clearly couldn't handle, trying to fix it half assed then blaming the dealer she bought it from? Legit burst out laughing when she said she is faulting the dealer for these issues.

Then you have to pay storage fees. So really she does have the option to get the car out, shes just being a fucktard.
The lady agreed on a signed contract for the repairs and is now trying to back out after repairs are done.
