• Performance driving or harsh conditions shorten the interval; preventive inspections at Park Place Lexus Grapevine reduce the risk of unexpected failures.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Replacement is required when rotors are too thin, cracked, warped beyond tolerance, or contaminated; replacement ensures consistent braking and safety.
• At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we recommend the most cost-effective, safety-first solution and back work with dealership warranties; covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain warranty integrity.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2016 Lexus GS 350: the front rotors handle the majority of stopping force and heat, so they typically wear faster than the rear rotors. Front rotors are larger and subject to higher thermal and mechanical stress; rear rotors help stabilize braking and balance pedal feel. When a front rotor begins to warp, you may feel pedal vibration, reduced stopping confidence, and increased stopping distances. Ignoring these symptoms can accelerate wear to pads, calipers, and wheel bearings, increasing repair costs. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our certified Lexus technicians inspect both axles and recommend OEM replacements or resurfacing where safe and economical. We explain costs, warranty coverage, and long-term benefits so you can choose the right path.
