You can resurface any type of metal rotor. Some places will not want to cause they just don't have the skills to do it.

I had the same dilemma on my 993, they told me that the brakes would squeak if I did not replace the rotors too. I only had the pads done by an Indy and the squeaking bothered me so much that I eventually was glad to replace the rotors.

Let us know if you have a similar experience. Personally, I think replacing the rotors with every pad change is a scam, it makes me wonder if you can intentionally make the brakes squeak.

996turbo will become famous soon enough
Car has about 30K on it....so, if they are not resurfaced, they will make noise?
