Any recommendations on where to resurface rotors?

I know this has been asked in the past (I did my homework and hit the search button!) but since it's been two years since the last post on this subject (at least from what I found) has anyone had to resurface their rotors recently or does anyone have any suggestions on where to take mine?

Take it any shop that does brake job's, make sure when u take it to some shop tell them to measure ur rotor's to see if there still in spec's. if they resurface ur rotor and ur rotor is under spec. U could have some issue down the road like vibration when braking etc... So yeah I'm guessing any shop that does brake can cut/resurface ur rotor.

How often should you resurface/replace your rotors?

They should be resurfaced whenever you change your brake pads, but the thickness should be measured first. If they are below spec, or there is not enough thickness to turn them, then they should be replaced.
