while you're in there. Or your tech is in there. There will not be enough metal on the rotors for them to be turned and work well until you need pads again--theoretically another 90K miles.
See, if you're paying for the labor and you need to do the rotors at say, 110K miles, they'll have to take the calipers off again, so you pay for the work a second time. Do it all now and it's about 30 mins more labor plus the cost of the rotors. Do it again later and it's probably about 2 hours of labor plus the rotors. And they may insist on putting in new pads with the new rotors.
So bite the bullet and do it all now.
