Pads wear down and need replacing on their own schedule (usually 30,000-70,000 km depending on driving style); rotors last longer but aren't infinite — they can warp (felt as a pulsing brake pedal) or wear thin enough that they're unsafe to resurface. A shop should measure rotor thickness against the minimum spec stamped on the rotor itself, not just eyeball it. If someone quotes rotors on every pad job without measuring first, ask what the actual reading was — sometimes rotors genuinely need replacing, sometimes pads alone are enough.
