2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing pads and rotors together preserves braking performance and prevents premature wear. When a new set of pads is fitted to old, worn rotors, you can get uneven contact, noise, and reduced stopping efficiency. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn we inspect both pads and rotors with precision measuring tools and recommend the most cost-effective option: resurfacing when safe, or replacement when needed. Doing both at once eliminates bed-in delays, reduces labor time over two separate visits, and restores the vehicle’s intended brake feel. Our technicians use Hyundai OEM pads and rotors designed for the hybrid's braking profile to maintain regenerative braking balance and pedal modulation. Choosing our dealership means you benefit from factory procedures, exact torque specs, and a documented repair history that helps preserve resale value. We also highlight savings through seasonal service specials and flexible service financing. To get a clear estimate and book a convenient time, schedule service online and pick a slot that fits your day.
