The shoes are at 4mm and the pads are at 8mm. Car has almost 43K and the rotors need to be resurfaced. Dealer quoted $145 to resurface both rotors. Is this the going rate?

Thanks

Do you see any scoring/uneveness on the rotors? Why does he say they need resurfacing?

cheaper to just buy new rotors... metal warps and stays warped(and is weaker) after been constantly heated/cooled.. buy new rotors and save yourself a serious headache
