Turning rotors does resurface them. It removes about 1 or 2 mm of metal from both sides, smoothing out the rotor etc.
Its the same amount of effort to remove old rotors and install new ones as there is in removing old rotors, bring to shop to turn/resurface, and reinstall. The latter costs a lot less, and there is no waiting for parts in the mail etc. Takes about 20 minutes to turn a rotor and only costs about $15-20 compared to the cost of a new set of good quality rotors.

On that note, I might as well throw in my .02 and say that I will probably never pay someone else to do my brakes... They are super simple, especially with disk brakes.
