How often should you replace your 2018 Lexus RX 350L rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or machining) removes a thin layer of metal to correct minor irregularities, returning a smooth surface when sufficient thickness remains; replacement installs a new rotor when wear or damage exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective short term, but replacement is often the best long-term value for a luxury vehicle like the 2018 Lexus RX 350L because new rotors restore original performance and pairing with new pads reduces noise and uneven wear.
• Nalley Lexus Smyrna guides you toward the most durable and warranty-protecting choice, and we offer service financing plus transparent pricing and OEM parts — schedule service to get a precise recommendation.
