What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing removes a thin layer from the rotor to restore a smooth braking surface when thickness and structural integrity are within spec.
- Replacement installs a new rotor when resurfacing cannot meet safety specifications or when visible damage is too severe.
- At Park Place Lexus, our team evaluates both options and recommends the most cost-effective solution that preserves safety and long-term value — and any warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors on the 2014 Lexus GS 450h serve different roles: front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force and heat, while rear rotors supplement stopping power and work with the vehicle's stability systems. Because the front axle absorbs more kinetic energy, front rotors usually wear faster and are more prone to heat-related issues and warping, especially in spirited driving or frequent stop-and-go traffic. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX we inspect both front and rear rotors during routine service to identify uneven wear, thickness variation, or rotor runout. Our certified technicians use Lexus-approved measurement tools and OEM replacement parts when needed, ensuring balanced braking performance and longevity. We also explain the benefits of resurfacing versus replacement, and when a full rotor swap is the smartest investment for safety and resale value. Take advantage of our service financing and current service specials to manage costs; to get on our schedule, schedule service online for a fast, professional inspection and clear, written estimate.
