Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2018 Toyota Avalon uses front and rear rotors that differ in size and load. Front rotors handle most braking force and typically wear faster due to weight transfer during stops; rear rotors often last longer but can still suffer from scoring, corrosion, or caliper issues. Understanding the difference helps prioritize repairs: a front rotor problem often demands quicker attention because it directly affects braking balance and safety. At Stevinson Toyota West we inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and advise whether resurfacing or replacing is best. We frequently promote loyalty programs and seasonal service offers—check our service specials—to reduce cost while ensuring OEM quality.
