What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor’s contact surface when the rotor has minor wear or light scoring and remains above minimum thickness; replacement is required for severe damage or when thickness limits are exceeded.
• Resurfacing at Nalley Kia is performed with precision equipment and can extend rotor service life, delivering savings compared with immediate replacement while preserving OEM standards.
• If replacement is recommended, we install OEM rotors and provide warranty-backed work — this reduces long-term costs by preventing repeated repairs and ensuring consistent braking performance.
