wow dude, now I see why you say it's not worth it, first of all you went to the dealer, secondly, at $800 they were gonna ream you. Go to a brake shop, NEVER will resurfacing a rotor cost more than replacing it and the pads. Why keep replacing the rotors when you can get them resurfaced? So long as you dong get grooves in your rotors that are significantly deep, you can resurface them like 2-3 times without any problems. If you have the money to blow like that, go for it, but if not, there is no need to keep replacing them unless they can't be resurfaced anymore.
