What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) removes surface imperfections to restore a smooth braking surface when the rotor meets thickness and runout specs; replacement is necessary when rotors are too thin, cracked, or warped beyond safe limits.
• Courtesy Kia of Brandon evaluates safety, cost-effectiveness, and long-term performance before recommending resurfacing or replacement; using OEM parts and factory procedures ensures optimal results and keeps warranty coverage intact.
• Choosing dealer service often reduces lifetime costs: correct resurfacing tolerances, proper bedding-in of pads, and verified measurements reduce callbacks and extend component life. We also provide service financing and list current service specials.
