   will I really need to change rotors?

   My Tacoma has 74,000 miles on it. I've never had brake work. Today I brought   
   it to a brake shop. The guy said the back brakes were in great shape. The   
   front pads still has a third left. He said the rotors were thinning- and had   
   a mirror like finish. When I finally replace the pads, I'll definitely need   
   to replace the rotors. Not sure what the following means but it's on the   
   bill: DISCARD FR ROTOR AT: .787 R MAHCINE TO LIMIT: 11.693.   
      
   If they really need to be replaced, fine- but it won't be cheap so I need   
   further advice. Of course I'll go to some other shops too.   
      
   I just assumed that if you didn't scrape the rotors- they could last much   
   longer.
