Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors play distinct roles on a 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The front rotors handle the majority of braking force—often absorbing 60–70% of stopping energy—so they tend to wear faster, heat more quickly, and are more likely to develop runout or surface heat spots. Rear rotors contribute to balance, stability, and parking brake function; they commonly wear slower but can show uneven wear if the brake system or hydraulic balance is off. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we measure front and rear rotor thickness, check runout tolerances, and evaluate the entire brake system including calipers, pads, and ABS components. We offer OEM replacement rotors or precision resurfacing when safe, and we clearly outline costs and benefits so you can choose the best option. Take advantage of current service specials and ask our advisors about loyalty programs and service financing. Ready to protect your stopping power?
