Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class typically handle more load and heat because braking transfers weight forward, so front rotors often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors share load differently and may last longer, but factors such as pad compound, driving style, and whether the vehicle has rear braking assist or electronic parking brake can change the pattern. Our technicians at Park Place Motorcars Dallas inspect both axles and recommend resurfacing when within spec or full replacement when required. We explain the trade-offs between resurfacing and new OEM rotors, the costs involved, and how proper service prevents damage to pads, calipers, and wheel bearings. We run promotions and provide transparent pricing; check service specials and ask about loyalty benefits. Ready to protect your S-Class braking performance?
