2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Rotor Replacement Price

Common rotor problems for the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 include thinning beyond minimum spec, heat cracks from track use, warping that causes pedal pulsation, and severe scoring from worn pads. Ignoring these issues can lead to longer stopping distances, accelerated pad wear, damaged calipers, and costly repairs that far exceed the initial replacement cost. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper we emphasize transparent estimates and OEM parts—our written quotes show parts, labor, and warranty coverage so you know the investment up front. Using factory parts and procedures reduces the chance of premature failure and delivers long-term savings by preventing repeated labor and corrective work. We also offer service financing so you can handle necessary repairs now and pay over time; check our service specials for seasonal discounts and ask about warranty terms when you schedule service.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors typically do more work than rear rotors on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 because braking weight shifts forward; this increased load can cause front rotors to wear faster, run hotter, and require earlier replacement. Rear rotors may last longer but can still suffer from rust, uneven wear, or damage if caliper issues exist. Our technicians inspect both axles, measure thickness, and verify runout to recommend resurfacing or replacement based on manufacturer limits. We run multi-point brake checks and can combine services for efficiency—customers often save time and money by addressing both axles in a scheduled visit. Take advantage of our dealership amenities, certified techs, and clear warranty protection. Ready to protect your stopping power? Schedule appointment online or call Larry H.
