Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Lincoln MKS?

• Not always — pads can be replaced alone if the rotors are within spec, but uneven wear or scoring often recommends replacing both to restore peak braking performance.
• Our certified technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and surface condition and will explain the immediate cost vs. long-term value to help you decide.
• Doing both when needed prevents accelerated wear, saves money over time, and preserves warranty coverage when work is completed at our dealership.

How do you make 2013 Lincoln MKS brake pads last longer?

• Drive smoothly, avoid aggressive stops, and reduce heavy loads when possible; these habits reduce heat and pad wear.
• Regular inspections and using OEM-specified pads and rotors from Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough maintain design tolerances and performance, lowering replacement frequency.
• Consider our recommended maintenance intervals and ask about service specials and financing when you schedule appointment to spread costs.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Vibration or pulsation through the brake pedal, squealing, visible grooves or scoring, and increased stopping distances are common signals.
• Early detection at Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough avoids more costly damage to calipers and pads and preserves vehicle safety.
• If your 2013 Lincoln MKS shows symptoms, schedule service promptly — warranty-covered items must be serviced at a certified dealership.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Technicians measure rotor thickness and runout; if thickness is below manufacturer minimums or runout exceeds specs, replacement is required.
• Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough documents measurements and explains options: resurfacing when within spec or full replacement for safety and longevity.
• We emphasize transparent pricing, OEM parts, and technician certification — and we offer service financing to get needed repairs done now.

How often should you replace your 2013 Lincoln MKS rotors?

• Replacement intervals vary, but many drivers see rotor replacement between 40,000–70,000 miles; severe use or environmental factors can shorten this interval.
• Regular inspections with our service team increase rotor life and identify resurfacing opportunities to delay replacement without sacrificing safety.
• Review current offers and book a checkup via schedule service or see our service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor surface imperfections and restores a flat braking surface when rotor thickness and runout remain within manufacturer limits.
• Replacement is required when rotors are worn beyond minimum thickness, cracked, or warped beyond safe limits; Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough recommends OEM replacement parts for best performance.
• We provide a clear recommendation and cost estimate, including warranty details — remember, warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve the same purpose but have different roles and wear patterns on the 2013 Lincoln MKS. The front rotors handle most of the braking load due to weight transfer when stopping, so they typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors and the related hardware can experience corrosion or uneven wear, especially in regions with road salt or frequent stop-and-go driving. Our technicians evaluate each axle independently and recommend resurfacing or replacement based on measured thickness and runout. We regularly promote loyalty programs and service specials that make maintaining both front and rear systems more affordable, and we document the inspection so you understand recommended next steps.
