What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (turning) restores a rotor's surface when there is minor unevenness and enough thickness remains; replacement is required when rotors are below spec or have major damage.
  • Resurfacing can be a cost-effective solution that restores smooth braking, but replacement provides new spec thickness and longevity—our team will recommend the best value option.
  • Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth provides clear estimates, OEM parts, and service financing so you can choose the right solution without surprise costs.

The brake rotors on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class are engineered for high-performance stopping power and smooth modulation.

At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth in Fort Worth, TX, our Mercedes-Benz-certified technicians use factory procedures and OEM parts to ensure rotors meet manufacturer tolerances. Bringing your S-Class to our service center means access to advanced diagnostics, correct machining equipment when resurfacing is appropriate, and replacement rotors sourced to Mercedes-Benz specifications.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class serve different roles and wear at different rates. Because the front axle handles the majority of braking force during deceleration, front rotors typically experience higher temperatures and faster wear; rear rotors support stability and can last considerably longer depending on driving patterns. Understanding this difference helps technicians recommend economical service: sometimes only front rotors need replacement, while other times all four should be addressed for balanced braking. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we explain each option clearly—resurfacing vs replacing—so you understand immediate costs and long-term savings. We back our work with warranty support; note that warranty repairs must be done at certified dealerships.
