I can't recall reading about this previously so was anxious to hear comments/opinions from the various experts (including the most knowledgeable Chrysler service advisor). In my particular case it is academic as I have recently had both the front & rear rotors resurfaced however am now wondering if I did the correct thing.
So when having the dealer install new disc pads (both front & rear) they advised that the rotors should be resurfaced (in earlier days I believe this was called turning or shaving the rotors). Both sets of rotors were within specs and thus could be resurfaced. Cost (in Canadian dollars) to resurface fronts was $160 and resurface rears was also $160. However now that they have been resurfaced they cannot be resurfaced again.
Two basic questions -- 1. Which is the safest route to go - resurface or install new OEM rotors? 2. Approximately which is the most economical (parts & dealer installation included)?
