What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or turning) removes a small amount of rotor surface to restore flatness and reduce vibration, but it’s only possible when thickness remains within manufacturer limits.
• Replacement installs a new OEM rotor when damage or wear exceeds safe resurfacing limits; new rotors ensure correct thickness, balance and longevity.
• Arapahoe Hyundai’s technicians follow Hyundai specifications, explain the tradeoffs, and show long-term savings from choosing the right option now to avoid repeat repairs.
• We recommend scheduling a diagnostic—schedule appointment today and check our service specials to lower your cost.
