How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Technicians measure rotor thickness and check for warping, cracking, and deep scoring; when thickness is at or below manufacturer minimums, replacement is required.
• Richmond BMW Midlothian documents findings and explains short- and long-term costs of resurfacing versus replacement, showing how dealer-performed repairs can save money over time.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor face to remove grooves and restore a flat surface; replacement installs new rotors when machining would bring thickness below safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective for moderate wear, but replacement is necessary for deep scoring, cracking, or minimum-thickness conditions—you’ll get a clear recommendation and transparent pricing at Richmond BMW Midlothian.
• We honor warranties and use OEM parts; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Ask about financing options to get work done now and pay later.
