In the past I've changed the pads without resurfacing rotors with pretty good success because the rotors were not warped. It seems that the pads bed themselves pretty quickly into the rotor grooves and work fine (unless they are severely scored). If I need the rotors turned, where should I take them?
Nearly all the Midas/Meineke, etc places can turn them...Some small shops can too....
