Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2017 Lexus ES 350 is engineered with both front and rear rotors playing complementary roles. Front rotors usually handle the bulk of braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration; this means front rotors commonly wear faster and may show grooves, heat spots, or thickness variation sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors assist with stability and may be paired with parking brake components that introduce different wear patterns. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick we inspect both axles to determine whether resurfacing or full replacement is the most effective solution. Our certified technicians measure rotor thickness to factory standards and check for warping or scoring that can lead to vibration, reduced stopping power, and uneven pad wear. We explain the costs and benefits of resurfacing versus new OEM rotors, and we highlight any available service specials or financing options to keep repairs affordable. To protect stopping performance and extend the life of pads and calipers, schedule service with our team—fast appointments, courtesy shuttles, and genuine parts make the process convenient and reliable.
