- Our technicians evaluate cost, safety and longevity; we explain immediate savings from resurfacing versus long-term value of new rotors.
- Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage valid. You can schedule service to get a full assessment and see current service specials.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking system on a 2018 Lexus RC 350 divides work between front and rear rotors: the front rotors handle the majority of stopping force and heat, while the rear rotors assist with balance and stability. Because of weight transfer during braking, front rotors generally wear faster and show the first signs of scoring or warp. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our factory-trained technicians inspect both axles and measure rotor thickness to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safer, longer-lasting choice. Resurfacing can restore a smooth contact surface when thickness is within specification, but replacement with OEM rotors is the right call for rotors that are cracked, excessively worn, or heat-damaged. We use OEM parts and recommended torque procedures so braking performance and pedal feel match Lexus standards. Check our service specials and consider service financing to make necessary repairs affordable. To preserve braking balance and avoid costly downstream repairs, schedule service online and get a clear, written estimate before work begins.
