It depends on the amount of wear on the rotors. If they are grooved or pitted you will need to get them turned at a machine shop. Rotors have minimum thicknesses assigned by the engineers that designed them. So if they are too thin, or if turning them will make them too thin once they are flat, you will need to get new ones. To prevent a situation like this from happening make sure to get your pads changed when they require it. Usually they will start squealing from a small metal strip that comes off them designed for this purpose. If you let the pads go so long they start to grind against your rotors it's too late.
