Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on the 2013 Lexus ES 300h serve distinct roles. Front rotors handle most of the braking force because weight transfers forward under braking; they often wear faster and are more likely to develop heat-related issues. Rear rotors assist with balance and stability and can last longer, but they are critical to overall ABS and electronic brake distribution performance on hybrid platforms. Our technicians inspect both axles at every appointment and explain differences in wear patterns, offering resurfacing when safe and replacement when required. Park Place Lexus provides OEM parts and certified labor so that both front and rear systems work harmoniously, preserving hybrid regenerative braking calibration and pedal feel. We encourage customers to take advantage of our service financing and current service specials to manage maintenance costs. For the fastest turnaround and documented quality, schedule appointment online or contact our service team — we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option with warranty protection and clear next steps.
