What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) smooths the rotor surface to remove minor imperfections and restore even contact, while replacement installs new rotors when wear or heat damage exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term fix when thickness is sufficient; replacement is safest when structural wear or cracking is present—the dealership provides honest recommendations and OEM parts for longevity.
