For most average everyday cars it's actually not really worth getting them turned; replacements are cheap. I redid the brakes on my daily driver (2010 Mazda 3) last year, and brand new rotors were <<$50/ea. from RockAuto, incl. shipping.

I thought I would chime in with a question as brakes is the topic.
2008 Matrix. Bought new rotors and brakes for the front and drums and pads for the back and the kit that goes with the back brakes. Doing it myself. I have done the front numerous times. It has upwards of 1M kms. Not joking. Its a beast and was my highway commuter.
I did the front brakes and all was good. Such a huge improvement. A couple weeks later I do the back and now spongy and not good. I have tried to fix two times. The first time I didn't think the adjuster was tight enough so tightened it. It was too tight but still spongy hitting the pedal. E brake was super tight and on a cable. Second time readjusted the tightener and appeared perfect. Still spongy. What am I doing wrong. Any help appreciated.
