What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

- We explain cost, benefits, and long-term savings for each approach and often pair work with service specials to reduce total expense.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking system on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class is engineered for balance and performance; front rotors typically absorb more braking force and heat, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors are larger and dissipate more heat because most braking force is applied to the front axles during deceleration. Rear rotors work in concert to stabilize the vehicle and assist in balanced stopping, but wear patterns differ—rear rotors may last longer in normal driving yet still require timely inspection. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth our technicians inspect both front and rear systems, measuring rotor thickness, lateral runout, and checking for heat-related scores or cracking. We discuss whether resurfacing is safe or a full replacement is recommended, and we clearly outline the long-term savings of using OEM parts and certified labor to avoid repeated repairs. Take advantage of our transparent estimates and available service specials.

Different types of 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class Disc Brakes
Disc brake options and considerations for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class include standard vented rotors, slotted rotors, drilled rotors, and high-performance composite rotors. Vented rotors are common for efficient heat dissipation on street-driven cars. Slotted rotors help clear pad material and gases for improved bite under aggressive use, while drilled rotors improve cooling at the cost of potential cracking under extreme stress. High-performance composite rotors offer reduced weight and improved fade resistance for track-oriented drivers. Our technicians at Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth recommend the right rotor type based on your driving style—commuting, spirited driving, or occasional track use—and we install OEM or manufacturer-approved performance upgrades when appropriate.
