Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Lexus Gs-450h?
Replace both only if rotors are at or below the Lexus minimum thickness or show heat spots and grooves; otherwise pads-only may be appropriate.
We measure rotor thickness and runout to factory specs and document results before recommending parts. Matching new pads to an out-of-spec rotor can cause noise and vibration. For an evidence-based recommendation in Sharon, you can schedule service and view service specials.
