What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing smooths uneven surfaces and removes minor scores to restore a flat braking surface—it's cost-effective when thickness and structural integrity remain within spec.
• Replacement is necessary for rotors below minimum thickness, cracked, or badly warped; new OEM rotors restore original performance and safety margins.
• At our dealership we explain the immediate cost comparison and the long-term benefits of OEM replacement versus resurfacing so you can make an informed decision. For service, schedule service or check current service specials.
