What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) smooths the rotor surface to remove light scoring and restore flatness; it’s cost-effective when rotors remain above minimum thickness and free of cracks.
• Replacement is required when rotors are too thin, cracked, or severely damaged. New OEM rotors restore original braking performance and longevity.
