There is a spec that shows the minimum allowable thickness on the rotors. If groove removal would require turning to under that spec, you can either replace the rotors or live with the grooves.

Ventilated rotors have a difference spec that solids. Yours are likely ventilated.

Your dealer is right in that a rotor worn down and turned and now at the minimum thickness cannot be turned again. Did he give you the measurement of your rotors and the specification minimum?

Depending on the severity of grooving, you might get a set of soft pads (AutoZone house brand, e.g.) and allow them to wear into the grooves.

Good Luck,

Bob
