What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor’s surface when thickness and structural integrity allow it—it's a lower-cost option that can extend rotor life when damage is minor.
• Replacement is necessary when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too warped to safely resurface; replacement ensures consistent performance and longevity.
• Richmond BMW evaluates each rotor and recommends the most cost-effective solution using OEM standards, backed by warranty and certified technicians. For convenience, schedule service online.
