2018 Hyundai Sonata Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together gives the best long-term performance for your 2018 Hyundai Sonata. New pads on worn rotors can cause uneven wear, vibration, and reduced stopping power; by inspecting and addressing both components at once, our technicians restore consistent pedal feel and extend the life of the braking system. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, we use Hyundai OEM pads and rotors calibrated to factory tolerances, so heat dissipation and pad bedding behave as intended. Our multi-point inspection includes measuring pad thickness, rotor runout, and caliper slide function to determine whether resurfacing or full replacement is the right path. Customers benefit from fewer return visits and better resale value when brakes are serviced to factory standards. Before you visit, review our current service specials, then schedule service to reserve a convenient appointment with a certified technician.
