What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes a small amount of material to restore a smooth face if the rotor is thick enough and free of cracks; replacement is required if rotors are below minimum thickness or structurally damaged.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective short-term, but Richmond BMW Midlothian emphasizes total cost of ownership — often OEM replacement with proper installation yields better longevity and fewer repeat visits, which is more economical over time.
