Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on your 2012 Lexus GX 460 play distinct roles. Front rotors typically absorb a larger share of braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration, so front rotors and pads often wear faster than rear components. Rear rotors still contribute to overall stability and can show different wear patterns due to parking brake use or load-carrying. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians precisely measure both front and rear rotor thickness, check for runout and heat damage, and recommend resurfacing or replacement based on OEM specifications. Choosing a dealership service means you get genuine Lexus parts matched to factory tolerances, professional torque and bedding procedures, and warranty protection that preserves vehicle value. We maintain a comfortable customer lounge, prompt drop-off options, and service financing to spread the cost if needed.
