Brake rotors should last 2-3 brake pad changes. They have a service life that is marked as a minimun thickness on the DISC hat area. Sounds like they are replacing the rotors WAY too soon!!

Your brake pad life is short, but not terrible if you live & drive in a metro area with constant stop & go driving.
