While technically "not true" where is the savings in NOT replacing the rotors? AT BEST, the old rotors are going to be close to minimum thickness after resurfacing them. This means they will be WELL under minimum thickness before the new pads wear out. That's an inspection failure here, regardless of how much pad is left. And they will probably warp before the pads wear out too. And at least around me, it costs the same to have a rotor resurfaced as to buy a new one from eEuroparts. So what is the point?? Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
Now the topic of the extortionate cost of having this sort of work done at the dealership is another topic entirely. DIY and save hundreds.
