Help! Question about Brake Service

UPDATE: I've learned I do in fact need to replace the rotors with the brakes. For anyone living in the DC area, I recommend German Auto Group in Springfield. They gave me a rate about $500 lower than the competition (which was another independent shop, not a dealer).

So recently I took my 987.1 CS in to an independent, but fairly well-regarded Porsche shop. They informed me that, among other things, I needed the front brake pads replaced, which would run me around 1k. I said okay, let me get my tax return and I'll bring the car back.

Now, however, they're telling me I need the pads and rotors and sensors replaced. They said, and I quote, "it's recommended to replace the rotors with the pads since they wear at the same rate."

Is this true? Honestly I was planning on DIY-ing the front pads after I learned how (relatively) cheap and easy it would be to do so.

For reference, my car is a 2008 with 59k miles. Seems a bit early to be replacing rotors....

EDIT: I've attached some photos of the front rotor. Alloy wheel Wheel Rim Tire Spoke
