Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2011 Honda Ridgeline serve the same function but experience different loads: the front rotors handle most braking force and therefore typically wear faster. Rear rotors may last longer but can still warp or corrode, especially in harsh weather or towing use. Understanding the difference is key to cost-effective maintenance — replacing or resurfacing only what’s necessary saves money now and preserves vehicle safety. At David McDavid Honda of Frisco we inspect both axles and recommend the right combination of resurfacing or replacement to restore balanced braking. We frequently bundle services with loyalty programs and service specials to lower out-of-pocket cost, and our service advisors will outline warranty coverage and financing options.
