Replacing pads...

Sorry if this was asked before, but I am looking at replacing my brake pads soon at my job ( I work at a car dealership). Should I have them resurface the rotors? or just put the pads on? (Buying new rotors is too expensive) Thanks!

it depends, if your going with the same pad and your brakes don't vibrate then you don't need to resurface your rotors. if you have had multiple pad compounds and or your brakes vibrate then you should resurface.

don't cut them unless they're grooved.

if the rotors are smooth leave them alone.

Do it right...use a gauge to determine if the rotors are still within spec. If they aren't you have your answer.
