I'm trying to see if I can find a decently priced shop that will resurface rotors vs buying new. Any shop preferences and idea on what they charge? Tnx
 
If thickness is still good it's $30 for the pair. Car shop on tenaya and azure in Centennial and can be done on the same day normally.

Titan work truck ate a couple sets of cheapies and cheapie pads in rapid succession, went Powerstop and niiiiice.
 
I never messed around with resurfacing. Always just replace them when they warp. Going on about 5 yrs on my current set.
 
O’Reilly Auto Parts in the Walmart shopping center on Centennial did a set for my Dad’s ’08 Ford Ranger within the last 6 months and we were happy with the results, I don’t remember it being too expensive, I don’t recall the exact amount though.
 
The old Goodyear Tire shop up on Centennial and Alliante did mine on a Santa Fe. I think they are now called Tire Stop. They did good work. I can't remember what it cost me, but I don't think it was to bad.

Can't remember exactly what I used last time. I think it was Raybestos heavy duty truck with Akebono pads.
 
My experience is that by the time the pads are worn out, the rotors are usually worn enough that there is not enough metal left to resrface the rotors. When you buy new rotors, get OEM - the cheap chinese rotors will often warp and start squeaking after about three months.

Yeah working for MB for 5 years, only turned rotors once. If they were thick enough we just slapped new pads on, if close to minimum thickness then new rotors. The one time I turned them was because of a noise complaint.
