What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or turning) removes a thin layer from the rotor to restore a smooth surface; it’s cost-effective when rotors are above minimum thickness and not warped.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too warped for safe resurfacing—new rotors restore performance and safety.
• Our certified technicians at Mercedes-Benz of Draper will recommend resurfacing or replacement based on precise measurements and explain warranty and long-term value.
