What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) removes minor imperfections, restoring a smooth braking surface if rotor thickness remains within factory limits.
• Replacement is required for rotors that are too thin, cracked, or badly warped—new OEM rotors restore full stopping power and longevity.
• Stevinson Hyundai recommends the option that delivers the best long-term value; our certified techs document the condition and explain immediate and future savings, and any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.
