What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing smooths and restores a rotor’s surface when the thickness and structure remain within safe limits; replacement installs new rotors when damage or minimum thickness prevents safe resurfacing.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution, but on a heavy-duty vehicle like the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid, replacement is often the longer-lasting choice for towing and heavy-load applications.
• Stevinson Chevrolet evaluates safety, longevity, and cost, offering honest recommendations and OEM parts with dealership warranties; any warranty-covered work must be performed at a certified dealership.
