• Frequency depends on use but expect inspection at regular service intervals and replacement if wear limits are reached—typically every 50,000–70,000 miles for many drivers.
• City driving, towing, or heavy loads can shorten rotor life; let our certified techs tailor a maintenance plan for you.
• Book routine checks and take advantage of our quick service options: schedule service.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) removes minor imperfections to restore a smooth braking surface when thickness allows; replacement is necessary when rotors are below minimum spec or damaged.
• Stevinson Hyundai recommends OEM parts and honest diagnostics; resurfacing can be a cost-effective fix, but replacement ensures long-term performance where needed.
• Ask about current service specials and financing options when you schedule service with us.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, front rotors typically handle more braking force than the rear because the vehicle's weight shifts forward during stopping. That increased load means front rotors often wear faster and may need resurfacing or replacement earlier than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a vital role—especially in hybrid-specific braking systems that integrate regenerative braking—but they generally experience less thermal stress. At Stevinson Hyundai in CO, our technicians measure rotor thickness, lateral runout, and surface condition to decide between resurfacing and replacement. We explain the long-term cost implications of each option: resurfacing can postpone replacement when within safe limits, while replacing with OEM rotors eliminates repeat labor and delivers consistent braking feel. Take advantage of our certified Hyundai service, genuine parts, and hassle-free scheduling.
