What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) removes minor grooves and restores a flat surface when rotors remain above minimum thickness; replacing installs new OEM rotors when machining isn’t safe or effective.
• Herb Chambers BMW of Boston uses OEM specifications to determine resurfacing viability—this ensures braking performance, ABS function and long-term durability.
• Choosing dealership service often costs less over time due to accurate diagnostics, proper tolerances, and warranty protection; covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership to keep warranty intact.
