What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) restores a rotor's smooth surface when thickness and structural integrity remain within OEM specs; replacement is required if below minimum thickness or if there are cracks.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective short-term, but Herb Chambers Chevrolet always recommends the safer, longer-term option that preserves braking performance and warranty coverage.
• We explain the immediate and long-term savings of each option and stand behind our work with warranty terms; repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
