Yes, we still resurface rotors. I know most shops will only replace them, but as long as they are still within spec, they can be safely resurfaced.
Also, we will never do, or recommend a "pad slap". The rotor surface must always be addressed. Either with a resurface if thick enough, or a replacement if not.
Here is an example of why.
you can't tell what the surface of the rotor truly is by looking at it.
This is one cut across the braking surface. The shiny sections are where it cut, the dark spots, the blade went straight across and never touched. because that surface is lower.
the end result is as good as new, but cost significantly less.
