- Resurfacing (turning) removes a thin layer from the rotor to restore a flat braking surface; replacement installs a new rotor when resurfacing is not safe or cost-effective.
- Resurfacing can be a cost-effective fix if the rotor thickness and condition allow; replacement is required for severe damage, cracks, or if the rotor is below minimum thickness.
- Our dealership evaluates each rotor and explains the immediate and long-term benefits of either choice: resurfacing can be economical short-term, while OEM replacement ensures longevity and warranty coverage.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors on a 2011 Lexus IS 250 is key to maintaining safe, smooth braking. The front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force because weight transfers forward during deceleration; as a result, front rotors commonly wear faster and are more often subject to heat-related issues such as warping or glazing. Rear rotors still play a critical role in balanced stopping, parking brake function, and overall vehicle stability. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our technicians inspect both front and rear rotors for thickness, runout, and surface condition during every brake service. We explain whether resurfacing or full replacement is the best value for your vehicle, and we use OEM parts to maintain factory performance and safety standards. With certified Lexus technicians, quick turn times, and transparent estimates, customers benefit from immediate and long-term savings compared with piecemeal repairs.
