You might - or might NOT - need rotors. But anyone who just blindly assumes you need new rotors on a brake job is an idiot who has been conditioned to waste money.
The tech will mic the rotor and compare the thickness according to what the FSM has for allowable specs. If it’s under or the rotor is warped, they’ll add rotors to the job. If not, they’ll just do the pads. It usually takes about 2-3 sets of brake pads to wear a rotor below minimums on most cars. Toyota Tundras and Porsche Cayannes both seem to eat brake rotors. On the other hand, Toyota Corollas and Jeep Wranglers seem to go pretty easy on rotors. Generally, a lighter car that sees lots of highway miles will have longer lasting rotors. That doesn’t explain the Jeep rotor longevity though, because they’re heavy AF…
Anyway, you might not need rotors.
