Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class the front and rear brake rotors perform distinct roles and wear differently. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat dissipation—this is why front rotors commonly wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors assist with stability and parking brake functions and often see less severe wear in normal driving. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth our technicians evaluate both axles during service, measuring thickness, checking for heat spots and warping, and advising whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest option. Choosing OEM rotors and pads ensures balanced braking performance and consistent pedal feel; our certified technicians install parts to Mercedes-Benz specifications and run a final road test to confirm even bedding and optimal stopping power. We offer transparent pricing, documented inspections, and warranty-backed repairs—remember that warranty work must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. For drivers looking to save, we post seasonal incentives and genuine-part discounts in our service specials, and we provide service financing so you can address urgent needs immediately.
