What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing smooths the rotor face to remove minor wear and restore a flat braking surface; replacement installs a new rotor when thickness or damage is beyond repair.
- Resurfacing can be cost-effective but must keep the rotor above the minimum thickness; replacement is safer if heat cracking, deep grooves, or warping exist.
- Our factory-trained techs use FIAT-approved tolerances and will explain why one choice saves money now and over time through fewer callbacks and better braking performance.
- Make a confident choice with us — schedule service and ask about payment options or service specials.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
On the 2018 FIAT 500L, front and rear brake rotors perform distinct roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking load and heat, while rear rotors provide balance and stability. Because the front axle absorbs more braking force, front rotors typically wear faster and may require resurfacing or replacement sooner than the rear. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ, our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, run-out, and surface condition to determine the right service path — resurfacing when within spec or replacing when wear threatens safety. Choosing dealership service brings the advantage of FIAT-approved parts, calibrated equipment, and documented inspections. We also provide transparent pricing, warranty protection, and service financing so you can get brakes fixed now and pay later.
