Dishonest dealerships love it, great way to bring in a customer more than once for the same problem.
i work at a Lexus dealership, we resurface the front rotors everytime the pads are changed unless the rotors are rotted to hell. then we replace them.just about 90% of the time when the front pads need to be changed, the rotors are warped anyway. its actually cheaper for our customers to get their rotors cut than to replace them from the dealership.
