How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• If rotors are below minimum thickness, warped, cracked, or show deep scoring, replacement is necessary to restore safe braking.
• Our technicians measure thickness, check run-out, and recommend resurfacing only when it preserves structural integrity and performance.

How often should you replace your 2012 Lexus IS 250 rotors?

• Replacement intervals vary; monitor performance and have brakes inspected at regular intervals. Many owners require rotor attention between 30,000 and 70,000 miles depending on use.
• Using OEM parts and dealer service can extend life and reduce long-term costs — we provide clear timelines and reminders to keep you safe on the road.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing smooths the rotor surface to remove minor imperfections when the rotor remains above minimum thickness; it is economical for moderate wear.
• Replacement is required for severe wear, cracks, warping, or when resurfacing would drop the rotor below the manufacturer minimum thickness.
• At Park Place Lexus, we evaluate both options and recommend the solution that preserves safety, performance, and value — and we clearly explain the cost and warranty implications.
