Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear brake rotors on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring serve related but different roles. Front rotors typically handle a greater share of stopping power because weight shifts forward under braking, so they often wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors contribute to balance and stability and, depending on your driving, can show different wear patterns. At Stevinson Hyundai in CO we inspect both axles for thickness, runout, and heat-related damage to determine whether resurfacing or full replacement is the safer and more cost-effective choice. Choosing dealership service means certified technicians use OEM specifications and calibrated tools, preserving ABS and vehicle stability control system performance. We back repairs with dealership warranties and provide transparent estimates so you understand immediate costs and long-term savings.
