The only way to tell if they are within factory specs is to measure their thickness and runout. Period. Everything else is guesswork. Change them when needed, not just because, and certainly don't use them if they are below spec or out of true.

Unless the dealer/INDY specifically says the rotors need replacing, I don't see why he should spend all that extra moolah. Sure, it would be nice to get everything NEW every time you bring your X in: new pads, new rotors, new rims, new tires. But you can't justify that expense if the rotors are still within factory specs, which they should be at 37K miles.
