Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Lexus IS 350 C?

• Not always, but it’s recommended when rotors are below spec, warped, or deeply scored; replacing both ensures optimal contact, quicker bedding-in, and extended component life.
• Nalley Lexus Smyrna provides precise measurements and will recommend resurfacing versus replacement based on OEM tolerances to maximize value and performance.
• Replacing pads without addressing rotor condition can cause premature pad failure and increased vibration, costing more over time — our transparent quotes explain these trade-offs.
• Remember that warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage; explore our service specials and financing options to make quality service affordable.

How do you make 2013 Lexus IS 350 C brake pads last longer?

• Adopt smoother braking habits, maintain recommended tire pressures, and avoid excessive curb-to-curb stops. These small habits reduce heat and wear on pads and rotors.
• Use OEM or high-quality replacement pads matched to the vehicle; Nalley Lexus Smyrna technicians select parts to protect rotor life and overall braking balance.
• Regular inspections and timely resurfacing help maintain a true contact surface, extending pad life and preventing costly rotor replacement later.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Common symptoms include vibration or pulsation through the brake pedal, uneven brake pad wear, squealing or grinding noises, and visible scoring or discoloration on the rotor surface.
• Nalley Lexus Smyrna inspects rotors and measures thickness and runout to determine if resurfacing or replacement is necessary; this diagnostic approach prevents follow-on problems like caliper damage.
• Addressing symptoms early at our dealership can lower total ownership costs; if work is needed, you can schedule service online and review service specials.

• At Nalley Lexus Smyrna, technicians follow OEM specifications and will present a clear explanation and estimate — replacement versus resurfacing decisions are made with longevity and safety in mind.
• Choosing dealer service often delivers cost savings over time because proper installation, balanced braking, and warranty-backed parts reduce the chance of repeat repairs.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor to remove minor scoring and restore a true surface when thickness and runout are within OEM limits.
• Replacement is required if the rotor is below minimum thickness, cracked, or too warped to machine safely; replacing with OEM rotors at Nalley Lexus Smyrna ensures correct fit and long-term reliability.
• Our technicians evaluate each rotor against Lexus specs and provide a transparent recommendation; dealer repairs often provide better lifecycle savings through proper parts and workmanship.
