Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2011 Lexus GS 460?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) removes a small amount of rotor material to restore a smooth braking surface when thickness and runout are within specs; replacement installs new rotors when damage or wear exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective option immediately, but replacement with OEM rotors often delivers better long-term value and consistent performance.
• At Nalley Lexus Smyrna we recommend the safest option based on measurements and offer transparent pricing, warranty coverage, and the ability to schedule appointment online.
