What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor’s smooth surface by removing a thin layer of material, addressing light scoring and minor runout; replacement installs a new rotor when wear exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can save money up front and extend rotor life when within spec, but replacement is preferred if thickness or structural integrity is compromised.
• At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford we evaluate rotors against BMW specifications and recommend the most cost-effective, safety-first option—often our dealership pricing and OEM approach deliver better total value than independent shops.
• We back work with warranty coverage, offer service financing, and provide clear explanations of immediate and long-term savings. To proceed, schedule service or see current service specials.
