What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing smooths a rotor’s face to remove minor scoring and restore flatness when thickness and tolerance allow; replacement installs a new rotor when resurfacing would leave the rotor below minimum thickness or when damage is severe.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution, but Richmond BMW evaluates long-term cost, safety, and warranty implications and recommends the best option with OEM parts.
