What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing machines off a small layer to restore a smooth surface when rotors remain above minimum thickness; replacement is necessary when worn below spec or damaged.
• Resurfacing is often less expensive short-term, but replacement is the safer long-term solution if rotors show heat cracks or excessive wear.
• At Park Place Motorcars Dallas we present both options, showing immediate costs and long-term savings of OEM replacements; warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid.
