Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The 2011 Lexus GS 350 uses a braking system where front rotors typically handle more braking force than rear rotors because braking weight transfers forward under deceleration. As a result, front rotors often show wear sooner—thinning, scoring, and heat damage—while rear rotors may last longer but still require inspection. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Sharon in Sharon, MA, our technicians compare front and rear rotor thickness, measure runout, and diagnose uneven wear that could indicate caliper or pad issues. Choosing dealership service means diagnostic accuracy, OEM rotor and pad replacements, and repairs backed by factory-trained technicians. We emphasize transparency: you get a clear quote, an explanation of immediate costs and long-term savings, and the confidence that any warranty-covered work will remain valid when performed here.
