Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. The front rotors typically absorb the majority of braking energy because weight shifts forward under braking; that means front rotors and pads often wear faster and may need service sooner than the rears. Rear rotors help stabilize braking and support parking mechanisms, so wear patterns differ. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our certified technicians evaluate front and rear components independently and recommend either resurfacing or replacement based on OEM specifications and measured thickness limits. We use genuine Volkswagen parts to ensure proper fit and longevity, and we itemize costs clearly so you understand immediate and long-term savings. Check available service specials and consider our service financing to get repairs now and pay over time.
