What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) removes small amounts of material to restore a flat braking surface when rotors are within thickness tolerances; replacement installs new rotors when damage or wear is beyond safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective in the short term, but replacement with OEM rotors often yields better long-term performance and consistent pad wear.
• Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque provides honest assessments — we recommend resurfacing only when safe, and replacement when it delivers better value and safety.
