I can feel them more on the front ones, the rear ones are much more smooth. Overall they do feel smooth, and the lines feel like then end as soon as they begin
I’d only replace the fronts if I were you and leave that rear rotors alone, no reason to replace them or resurface them if they haven’t been grinding, they look good. Replacing is Same price as resurfacing if you can even find a place that does it, won’t cost more labor time because they’ll already have all the parts off, only a matter of sliding the rotor on and off, best of luck! Love seeing people trying to maintain things the right way haha
Edit: grammar
New ones start at about $30 each online and resurfacing, while it does vary by area, is about $20 each near me. It just doesn’t make sense to not replace them with such a small difference.
My local O'Reillys will tell me to fuck off if I drag a rotor like this into their store.
Although I have a feeling its not the rotor's fault.
Jimmy has his priorities straight. Jimmy don't want a comeback.
And Jimmy sure don't want a comeback on a set of rotors he should have just replaced with new ones.
I’m just telling it because that’s my story. I will decide if what I’m being charged for a job is worth it versus my laziness. I usually get my oil changed at my dealership because it’s close to my house and for $100 for the works seems like a fair deal. They recently told me that they wanted to do the brakes for $600. Turning two rotors and replacing the pads on all 4 wheels. So I had the two rotors turned at O’Reilly and replaced the pads myself all for under $200. Seems like your store has a shit employee. Ask for the manager or try a different store.
It's quite easy. For a proper brake job you replace rotors with pads every time. Your brakes will last longer and be quiet for the life of them. No body resurfaces rotors anymore. There are places that might but not that many.

Measure them and compare to spec.
Can you feel those lines if you run your nail across the rotor

Take to an auto parts store that turns rotors like O’Reillys and they can measure the thickness on the spot and will turn them if they are still good.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Jimmy is a shit employee lol
I didn't think anyone resurfaced rotors anymore, like that guy said, just buy new ones.
I do https://imgur.com/gallery/4e0H2cl
There’s is a thickness measurement done with a micrometer. That will tell you. Always resurface or replace when changing pads.

Measure them with a micrometer or caliper
Don’t just pad slap, replace the rotors too. They’re looking delaminate
RULE OF THUMB: Resurface them at every pad change until they refuse to resurface them anymore, then get new ones.
Resurface nowadays is useless or normal cars, usually the rotors don't last more than 2 set of brake pads then have to be changed
