Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors perform different roles on your 2012 Acura RL and typically wear at different rates. The front rotors handle most of the braking force and therefore tend to wear faster; they dissipate more heat and are subject to greater stress during heavy braking. Rear rotors often last longer but can still be affected by corrosion or uneven wear if pads are not replaced properly. At Nalley Acura, our technicians assess both axles and recommend either resurfacing or replacement based on precise measurements, not guesswork. We explain how each option affects braking feel, longevity, and cost. Take advantage of our service financing if you need immediate repair and prefer manageable payments. For reduced out-of-pocket costs, check current service specials. To keep your Acura performing safely and smoothly, schedule service online or call our service advisors for personalized guidance.
