There are a lot of variables to consider.
Most daily driver cars, it's about a break even on replacing or turning the rotors. I prefer replacing if they are reasonably priced, as opposed to trusting the auto supply technician to turn them.
If it is a truck, or expensive car, something out of the ordinary, having them turned may be feasible. I will find a reputable shop to do it.
