• Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet recommends resurfacing only when it meets safety standards; otherwise, we install OEM replacement rotors to preserve braking performance and warranty coverage.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term fix, but OEM replacement often saves money long-term by ensuring consistent performance and minimizing rework. Ask about financing when you schedule service.
