Many shops consider a brake job to be to grind the rotors. Some rotors can't take a grind.
I have never had to replace a rotor on any car, Saab, VW or even Fiat. Grinding rotors should not be part of a regular brake job. Rotors should be ground only if they are badly grooved or warped.
Ask the shop why the rotors need to be replaced. Are they worn beyond the minimum stamped on the rotor? Are they warped (you would notice this as pulsations in the pedal under normal braking)? Have them justify replacing the rotors.
I can see needing front brake pads after 37K miles. That's a bit young for rear pads. And unless the rotors are badly warped all around, or you ran the pads down to rivets and grooved up the rotors, they should be fine.
I think they're looking to finance that new boat.
