What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) removes a thin layer from the rotor face to restore flatness and remove minor scoring — it’s a cost-effective option when rotors remain within Volvo thickness and safety specs.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, have severe cracking, or when past machining would reduce strength and heat capacity; new OEM rotors restore original performance and often include warranty coverage.
• At Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood, our technicians measure and recommend the safest, most economical choice; we prioritize OEM parts, certified service, and transparent pricing that often costs less than independent shops when considering long-term durability and warranty protection.
