How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

  • Rotors that are warped, below minimum thickness, or severely scored should be replaced rather than resurfaced; our certified techs measure and explain options clearly.

  • Nalley Lexus Smyrna will assess whether resurfacing or new OEM rotors delivers the best value, backed by certified installation and warranty protection.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors on a 2018 Lexus LS 500 helps you prioritize maintenance and avoid costly secondary damage. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force, so they often wear faster than rears; the LS 500's rear-wheel-drive balance and performance braking can place extra thermal stress on front components during spirited driving or towing. Nalley Lexus Smyrna in Smyrna, GA inspects both axles and provides a clear explanation of wear patterns, recommending resurfacing when safe or OEM replacement when necessary. Choosing our dealership ensures factory‑trained Lexus technicians use genuine parts, calibrated torque procedures, and precise machining that independent shops may not match. We also apply a service-first approach: clear estimates, available service specials, and options for service financing to get repairs done now and pay later. Protecting your braking system now prevents additional costs like warped calipers or ABS sensor damage later. To keep your LS 500 stopping smoothly and reliably, schedule service online or call Nalley Lexus Smyrna for a thorough inspection and fast turnaround.
