Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) removes minor grooves and corrects slight runout to restore a smooth braking surface; it is appropriate when rotor thickness and structural integrity remain within manufacturer limits.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, severely heat-blued, or warped beyond safe tolerances — replacement restores precise braking and longevity.
• At Park Place Motorcars Arlington we assess whether resurfacing or replacement provides the best value — resurfacing can save money immediately, while replacement prevents repeated visits and delivers long-term savings.
• All warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage valid. To learn more or to schedule service, contact our service team or check our service specials.
