2023 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads without assessing rotors can create uneven braking and premature wear. For the 2023 Ford Explorer, our technicians always inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition before recommending pad-only service. When rotors show heat spots, scoring, or thickness below Ford specifications, we advise resurfacing or replacement to ensure consistent contact and braking performance. Performing pad and rotor service together restores factory braking feel and maximizes component life; it also minimizes the likelihood of repeat repairs and associated labor costs. We use Ford-recommended rotors and pads, torque fasteners to specification, and conduct a controlled road test to confirm ABS and stability systems perform correctly. You’ll receive a clear report of findings and an explanation of how combined pad and rotor work saves money over time. To take advantage of integrated pricing and OEM-installed quality, schedule appointment today and review current service specials.
