2012 Acura RDX Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together provides a comprehensive restoration of braking performance on your 2012 Acura RDX.

At Nalley Acura in GA, our technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and surface condition to recommend the right combination of resurfacing or replacement. We prioritize OEM rotors and pads engineered for the RDX’s turbocharged 2.3L setup and front-wheel-drive dynamics so the parts fit and perform as intended. Choosing dealer service ensures parts compatibility and correct installation procedures—critical for long-term durability and safety. We also perform proper bedding-in procedures after installation to optimize friction characteristics and prevent premature glazing. Customers who take advantage of our combined pad-and-rotor services typically enjoy smoother braking, reduced noise, and fewer callbacks compared with piecemeal repairs.
