Rotors
Hello,
My brakes (front and rear) are due for replacement. My 2017 ES350 has less than 44,000 miles. There is a bit of pulsating going on which i was told that the rotors are warped.. First time to replace the brakes. Question is, should i replace the front rotors or just resurface. The online oem price is not bad.

I asked this same question recently when I had brakes put on my Corvette. The technician - not GM - stated that the rotors should be replaced with new and that most repair facilities won't even resurface rotors at this point. The rotors were 25 years old... FYI they are not very expensive and the links provided by Lex2k are a good source for parts. I find Rock Auto to be reasonable with their prices. GOOD LUCK!

OEMs are $71 per rotor free shipping

I dont even think about it, always replace rotors and pads together. Buy parts online and bring it to your mechanic to install, should be around $200 labor per axel.
