Warped rotors can be resurfaced for about $5-10 each. The surface is smoothed and straightened. As long as the rotors are still withing their serviceable range, this is the way to go.

I don't think the cars are at fault, I believe it is the driver. Jason8225 makes a good point. Holding all the heat in one area of the rotor can affect the surface. Making very hard stops can affect the rotor. Getting the brakes hot and spalshing through a puddle can damage the rotor. "Normal driving" is all relative to the individual.

Rotors are fairly simple to remove and/or replace.
