That's the rotors were warped. Did you have violent shakes when
braking? If not next time you need pads and don't have any problems to
specifically tell them not to resurface the rotors. This is just extra
money in the pockets of the dealers. You may also want to look around
at specialty shops that specialize in Hondas as they may be cheaper
compared to the dealers.
