Default brake pad replacement question

When you replace brake pads should you replace rotors too or have them cut? The ones i have arnt bad there pretty smooth just a see some what looks like slight grooves but nothing your finger nail can catch? So wasnt to sure.

it depends on how much the shop is going to charge per rotor. sometimes it is worth it to just buy new.

O'Reilly cuts them, but I don't know what they charge. If they aren't too thin already, I'd have them turned. If they've never been turned before, you should be ok for thickness.
