• Replacement intervals vary widely; routine inspections at oil-service-equivalent intervals for EVs help determine timing based on actual wear, not just mileage.
• Your Kona Electric’s driving conditions dictate frequency—city stop-and-go tends to wear rotors faster than highway use.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) restores a rotor’s surface when thickness and condition allow; it’s a cost-effective fix that extends rotor life.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or heavily scored. While replacement costs more up front, it restores full braking performance and reduces long-term expenses associated with repeated repairs.
• At Stevinson Hyundai we evaluate safety, longevity, and cost, then present honest options—backed by OEM parts, certified technicians, warranty protections, and service financing.
