Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Ford Shelby-Gt500?
Replace both if rotors are at/below minimum thickness or heat-checked; if rotors meet spec and run true, pads alone may be sufficient.
We’ll measure rotor thickness with a micrometer and check runout before advising you. This protects pedal feel, braking performance, and pad life. Your advisor will show readings and options so you can choose confidently.
- Verify rotor minimum thickness
- Assess surface condition/runout
- Documented results before work
Is it worth getting brakes done at Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree vs an independent brake shop?
A Ford dealer installs OEM-spec pads and follows factory procedures; independents may use aftermarket parts and varied procedures.
Dealer service emphasizes factory-matched NVH, pedal feel, and performance, plus access to Ford repair information. Independent shops can be a good option, but parts and processes differ. We provide up-front estimates and document all measurements so you can compare options fairly.
- OEM pad compound and hardware
- Rotor measurement against spec
- Access to Ford service info
Are 2013 Ford Shelby-Gt500 brakes covered under warranty?
Brake pad and rotor wear is generally not covered; defects in materials or workmanship may be covered at a certified facility.
Wear items are expected to degrade over time, while manufacturing defects are handled differently. Bring your vehicle to a certified Ford service center so eligibility can be evaluated and documented properly. Keep repair orders and receipts for your records.
- Coverage varies by VIN and policy
- Defects only, not normal wear
- Certified facility required
Can I drive my 2013 Ford Shelby-Gt500 with worn brakes?
Driving with worn brakes is unsafe and can quickly damage rotors, increasing stopping distance.
If you hear grinding or feel pulsation, reduce driving and book an inspection immediately to avoid higher repair costs. Our Braintree team can confirm pad life, rotor condition, and fluid status, then outline next steps. Use our online tool to schedule service.
- Grinding = inspect/tow recommended
- Longer stops increase risk

2013 Ford Shelby-Gt500 Brake Specifications
Brake performance depends on matching parts and measurements to factory standards. During inspection, we record pad thickness at each wheel and mic rotor thickness, then compare results to the stamped minimum specification and published service data. We evaluate rotor runout and heat spotting, and we confirm even pad wear and proper caliper operation. If components meet specification, resurfacing or cleaning may be sufficient; if not, we’ll recommend replacement using OEM-spec Ford components to preserve pedal feel and NVH characteristics. This methodical approach helps your vehicle stop straight, quietly, and consistently.
