For WOF the garage said it helps if you get the rear discs skimmed as well as getting new pads its a extra $80. What I would like to ask you lot is does it help!

Really depends on the condition of the disks. However if its been recommended, just get it done

forget skimming the disk unless the disk is scared you better off to check if the brake fluid is not due for a flush then to wast money on skimming a disc.

They must be in really bad condition for them not to guarantee the brakes will function after new pads are fitted. which means they should be suggesting new disks. .orrrr they are after a bit of an 'extra' sale ;)
Unless disks are really grooved. a skim won't do much of anything.

Unless they're badly grooved skimming is completely unnecessary.
Get a second opinion.

As above only skim if they are really bad
