• Typical pad replacement: most front or rear pads are replaced in about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on condition and whether rotors need machining or replacement.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors on a 2012 Hyundai Tucson?

• Brake pads: typical life ranges from 30,000 to 70,000 miles depending on driving style, environment, and load—our technicians inspect pads at every service.
• Rotors: rotors may last longer, but if they’re grooved, warped, or below minimum thickness we recommend replacement; resurfacing is sometimes possible but not always the best long-term choice.
• Routine inspections: we recommend a brake inspection at every oil change or at least once a year to catch wear early and preserve braking performance.
• Warranty note: some repairs may be covered under warranty and must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve that coverage.
