Choosing Park Place Lexus Grapevine means you receive certified diagnostics, genuine Lexus parts, and detailed estimates. We make service easy with online scheduling—schedule service—and flexible payment through service financing, so necessary maintenance can be done now and paid for over time.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2012 Lexus IS 350 C: the front rotors typically handle more braking force and heat, so they often wear faster and may require earlier replacement. Rear rotors assist with stability and parking functions and can last longer under normal use. Common issues include uneven wear, vibration under braking, and scoring that reduces pad contact area. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to longer stopping distances, accelerated pad wear, and higher repair costs. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we use OEM rotors and precision installation to ensure balanced braking. We maintain clear pricing, warranty options, and technician certifications, and we run through available service specials and loyalty discounts so you get maximum value.
