What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor surface imperfections to restore a smooth contact area; it’s cost-effective when rotors are within thickness spec and not deeply damaged.

• At our Albuquerque dealership we recommend the option that delivers the best long-term value—often replacement with OEM rotors provides greater reliability and warranty protection.
