• We emphasize transparency—resurfacing may be a short-term fix in severe cases, while replacement with OEM parts provides longer life and better long-term value.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear brake rotors on a 2017 Lexus GS 450h perform different roles and therefore wear at different rates. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force in most vehicles, so they typically show wear sooner than the rear set; that means front rotors may require replacement more often. Rear rotors assist with stability, parking brake function, and even weight distribution during braking. When our certified technicians evaluate your GS 450h, they measure rotor thickness, detect runout, and look for heat spotting or cracking. Early attention prevents uneven pad wear, caliper damage, and costly follow-on repairs—immediate dealership service often saves money over time by preserving related components.
