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.
I did go to a brake shop... u think the dealer will only ask $160 to install new pads and rotors? I think they asked for about twice the amount or more...anyway... the cost of resurfacing is never more than replacing them, but I just paid $100-$150 more to replace new and aftermarket parts. To me, it's worth it
I guess all depends on everyone's taste.
