Measure them to make sure they are still within specs, but usually after the rotors have been turned once they should be replaced the next time.

Once, would be best. Then, if turn them more, less metal = less life for the rotor to deal with heat, which will lead to more frequent warping.

my brakes have been re-surfaced THREE times by acura. thats right THREE!! dont do it more than 1 time. the last time they were re-surfaced, they started to squeal a week after. they dont squeal all the time but it is annoying. im gonna go with rotora rotors and be done with these pieces of shit.
