What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking is a common sign of warped rotors.

• There’s no fixed interval; replacement depends on wear patterns, driving style, and inspection findings — many owners see replacement between 40,000 and 70,000 miles.
• Routine inspections during oil changes and service visits at Stevinson Lexus of Frederick help track rotor condition and prevent unexpected failures.
• Choosing dealership service ensures measurements follow manufacturer specs, and warranty-covered work must be completed at a certified Lexus dealer to remain valid.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) restores a smooth surface by removing a thin layer; replacement provides a new rotor when thickness limits or damage prevent safe resurfacing.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective for minor warpage or scoring, but replacement is the correct choice when minimum thickness is exceeded or when structural cracks exist.
• At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick we evaluate each rotor against Lexus specifications and recommend the option that maximizes safety, longevity, and value — using OEM parts and certified processes.
