What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor's flatness and smoothness when thickness and wear are within safe limits — it can extend rotor life and save money short-term.

• At Herb Chambers BMW of Boston we evaluate rotors against OEM limits and recommend the right option for safety, savings, and long-term value — and any warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.
