So it's not always the case that everytime you replace brake pads that the rotors also need to be replaced.

I believe he is saying the dealer routinely replace rotors instead of turning/machining them. Rotors do not necessarily need replacing when you need pads. Rotors wear slowly and need to be machined or replaced usually because of warping rather then wear.
