When should I replace brake rotors?

Replace brake rotors when they're worn below minimum thickness (stamped on rotor), show deep grooves or scoring, are warped causing pulsation, have cracks, or when new pads are installed on severely worn rotors.

How long do brake rotors last?

Brake rotors typically last 50,000-70,000 miles depending on driving style, vehicle weight, and brake pad material. Performance driving, frequent towing, or aggressive braking reduces rotor life significantly.

Can brake rotors be resurfaced instead of replaced?

Rotors can be resurfaced if they're above minimum thickness after machining and have no cracks or excessive runout. However, with affordable replacement rotors available, resurfacing often isn't cost-effective.
