What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) removes a thin layer to restore a smooth surface when rotors are above minimum thickness; replacing installs new OEM rotors when resurfacing isn’t safe or effective.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective for minor wear, but replacement is best for deep grooves, cracking, or rotors below spec—our advisors explain the trade-offs and long-term savings.
• All warranty-covered work must be done at a certified dealership like Mike Shaw Subaru; schedule service to get an accurate recommendation and ask about current service specials.
