rotor resurface ?
The dealer probably would have resurfaced them. That's why I didn't take it to them. In situations like these, the dealer will almost always do whatever works out best for them. If they had new rotors in stock, then they would probably replace them, and charge Lexus for them. Otherwise, they'll resurface the rotors, and charge Lexus for that.
It's this kind of crap that made me vow to never pay a mechanic to do something that I could do myself. The only work that I've NOT done myself in the last 13 years was a warranty transmission replacement. I would much rather do it myself so I know it's done right even if it would be "free".

New rotors list for $260 a front pair so dealer's cost maybe about $140 considering the wholesale cost is $180 a pair.My dealer gets $200 to resurface two rotors.A much greater profit margin.Regular shops get around $40 to cut a pair of rotors.
You seem to know what you're doing mechanically so your rotors are probably fine.Doing it yourself does save you a bundle of money and you know it's done right.
IMO,the dealer would rather resurface than sell you rotors at least on a 250.

That $200+ really pissed me off.I complained and it worked.
Like I mentioned here before,those followup surveys seem to be important.
The dealer asked me to give then an outstanding check mark after the credit was issued to my credit card.
So we found a kink in their armor.
