What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) smooths minor imperfections and restores rotor surface where adequate thickness remains; replacement is required when thickness falls below spec or damage is severe.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution that restores pedal feel and prolongs rotor life, but replacement is the best long-term solution when wear is extensive.
• At Richmond BMW Midlothian, our technicians use OEM tolerances to determine the safe option; we favor transparency, OEM parts, and the right solution for lasting results—warranty-covered repairs must be done at certified dealerships.
