There are a lot of variables to consider.
Most daily driver cars, it's about a break even on replacing or turning the rotors. I prefer replacing if they are reasonably priced, as opposed to trusting the auto supply technician to turn them.
If it is a truck, or expensive car, something out of the ordinary, having them turned may be feasible. I will find a reputable shop to do it.
The calipers, if they are in good working order, just look them over, clean up the slides, they should be fine.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
