Oriellys does it for $10each....ive done it for years. Toyota rotors are pretty thick. The last set i did had 150k miles on them and were already cut once before and they guaged them and made a comment about how much was left still.

Just an update: I just got done replacing my rotors and pads. Wow! Huge difference, I can't even feel that I'm braking. It feels more solid, and no more shaking from warped rotors. The pad's definitely could have gone more than another 10k miles, but I felt more safe with new rotors and new pads.

In my situation the AutoZone C-MAX ceramic pads lasted about 30,000 miles. They can still go another 10k miles. I installed them at 137k miles, I'm now at roughly 167,422 miles.


EDIT: Forgot to add that AutoZone took back the old pads and rotors without question. They didn't even look inside of the brake pad box.
