Question

Answer
Jane-

  It's can be a good idea to have the rotors turned every time you replace your pads (especially if you're like me and you beat on the car a bit), but more and more companies are making rotors that can't be turned so you need new ones.  Money making schemes like that usually only exist in Superman movies and it's really pretty absurd to buy new rotors all the time.  I'd say don't do anything if you feel comfortable with the cars braking ability and start planning on a pad change in the next month or so.  My guess is that the rotors will be ok.  Hope this helps.
