What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or turning) removes surface irregularities to restore a smooth friction surface and is possible when rotors remain above minimum thickness and are not cracked.
• Replacement is required for rotors below thickness limits, cracked, or severely damaged; new OEM rotors restore original performance and longevity.
• Park Place Lexus technicians recommend the option that gives the best long-term value and safety. Repairs under warranty must be done by a certified dealership, and we offer financing to spread payments.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2013 Lexus IS 350 uses a front-biased braking system where front rotors typically handle more braking force and therefore wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors are often larger, ventilated, and designed to dissipate heat quickly; rear rotors may be smaller or combined with parking brake components. When front rotors warp or develop hot spots, you can feel pulsation through the brake pedal or steering wheel. Rear rotor issues often show as noise or reduced parking brake performance. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our technicians evaluate both axles and recommend resurfacing only when rotors meet thickness and structural standards. We explain the pros and cons of resurfacing versus replacement and provide transparent pricing with OEM parts and factory procedures. Take advantage of our service specials, request financing if needed, and schedule service online for prompt, warranty-backed work that restores confident braking.
