Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2014 Lexus RX 450h, front and rear rotors serve the same essential function—converting braking force into heat and controlled stopping power—but they face different demands. The front rotors handle a larger share of braking load because weight shifts forward under deceleration; as a result, front rotors often wear faster and may require resurfacing or replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a crucial role in vehicle stability and parking brake function. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our certified Lexus technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing will restore smooth braking or if OEM replacement is the safer long-term choice. We emphasize transparency: you’ll receive a clear estimate comparing resurfacing versus replacement, including labor and parts. When you use OEM parts and factory procedures at our dealership you benefit from precision fit, proper heat-treatment standards, and coverage that independent shops cannot duplicate. We also highlight seasonal promotions and loyalty incentives—see our service specials—and offer service financing so needed repairs are affordable. To preserve braking performance and resale value, schedule service online or contact our advisors for a personalized inspection and estimate.
