How often should you replace your 2021 Lexus GX 460 rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor glazing or ridges to restore a smooth braking surface; replacement is required when rotors are too thin, cracked, or warped beyond specification.
• Resurfacing is cost-effective for minor wear, but OEM replacement ensures ideal thickness and life expectancy — Park Place Lexus provides honest guidance about which choice yields best value.
• Choosing OEM replacement at our dealership includes warranty protection and certified installation, whereas some independent shops may lack factory parts or tools.
