What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) restores a rotor’s surface by removing minor irregularities and restoring flatness, while replacement installs a new rotor when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective option when rotors remain within thickness spec and are not cracked or deeply scored; replacement is necessary for severe wear or heat damage.
• At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, we use precise measurement and machining equipment and only recommend resurfacing when it provides long-term value — otherwise we recommend OEM replacements backed by warranty.
