What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) restores a rotor’s surface when it has minor scoring or unevenness but remains above minimum thickness. Replacing installs a new rotor when machining would compromise safety or performance.
• Resurfacing can cost less upfront and extend rotor life, but incorrect resurfacing can mask deeper problems. At Courtesy Kia of Brandon our certified technicians measure and recommend the safest, most economical choice.
• We emphasize transparency: you'll get a clear estimate, OEM parts when needed, and the option to finance service if desired.
