What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) smooths minor imperfections and restores rotor surface if thickness and straightness are within spec; it’s a cost-effective option when appropriate.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, severely warped, cracked, or scored—replacement ensures long-term reliability.
• At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson we inspect, recommend, and perform the safest, most economical choice—backed by certified technicians and dealership warranties.
