Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on your 2018 Hyundai Sonata divides work between the front and rear rotors. Front rotors typically handle more braking force because weight shifts forward during braking, so they often wear faster. Rear rotors provide balance and drive stability. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, our technicians inspect both front and rear rotors for thickness, runout, and surface condition. Front rotors may show more heat-related wear or taper, and rear rotors can be affected by parking brake use. Addressing issues early prevents warped rotors, uneven pad wear, and costly damage to calipers and braking hardware. We use OEM rotors and manufacturer procedures to ensure consistent contact and optimal stopping distance. Check our service specials for current offers, and when you’re ready to protect your commute, schedule service online for a convenient appointment with certified technicians. Our team will explain whether resurfacing or replacement is the best choice and outline warranty coverage and financing if you need it now and prefer to pay later.
