• Not always necessary, but it’s often recommended. Replacing pads with worn rotors can cause uneven pad wear and reduced braking efficiency.

How often should you replace your 2013 Volkswagen Golf R rotors?

• Replacement intervals vary — many drivers see rotor replacement between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Conditions like towing or frequent high-speed driving shorten that interval.
• Routine inspections at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood help determine the right interval for your driving habits and ensure peak braking performance.
• Using OEM parts and certified service reduces the risk of premature wear and offers better long-term value than repeated, inconsistent repairs.
• Book periodic checks via our online scheduler and review current incentives on our service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes a thin layer to restore a smooth surface and is appropriate when rotors are above manufacturer minimum thickness and free of severe damage.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too warped to safely resurface. Replacement restores original factory tolerances and performance.
• At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood we recommend the safest, most cost-effective option and explain how OEM parts and certified installation protect long-term value.
• We support financing and honor warranties that require service at a certified dealership. Check our service specials and schedule service online.
