Local brake shops all replace rotors anymore. New rotors are so close to minimum thickness when new that by the time you wear out a set of pads the rotors are too thin, no material to turn off. They get too thin they warp and you get the pulsing brake pedal.
Had my fill of non-OEM pads & shoes, messy dusty squealing aftermarket pads/shoes, I use only OEM pads/shoes anymore. Done one 4-wheel brake job on my '96 F-250 4wd with just over 300,000 miles, not kilometers, MILES. Have 141,000 on my little car, new pads & rotors about 15,000 miles ago, Wife's old car went 205,000 on 2 sets of front pads and one set rear pads, new rotors on front only. When my local dealer Shop Manager says he doesn't like turning brake rotors, has better luck replacing them, I tend to believe him, his shop does several brake jobs every day.
