What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) smooths the rotor surface to remove light scoring or minor unevenness and is a lower-cost option when thickness and integrity are within spec.
• Replacement is required when rotors are warped, cracked, or below the minimum thickness—the safest long-term choice when damage affects braking performance.
• At Stevinson Toyota West we evaluate rotors with precise measurements and recommend the most cost-effective option. For convenience, schedule service online and ask about our current service specials.
