How often should you replace your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) removes a thin layer to restore a smooth, flat braking surface; replacement installs a new rotor when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective when rotors are only slightly worn; replacement is safer when rotors are warped, cracked, or below minimum thickness.
• Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn evaluates each rotor and recommends the long-term, value-focused option—often replacement with OEM rotors for durability and warranty protection.
• Book an inspection or schedule appointment to review options and available service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different loads on your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. The front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force due to weight transfer during deceleration, so they often experience faster wear and higher heat exposure. Rear rotors contribute to balance and braking stability, and they can last longer under normal driving. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, our certified technicians will inspect both front and rear systems and explain why one side may need service sooner. Common causes for premature front rotor wear include aggressive driving, frequent short-stop city driving, and towing. Rear rotors can fail sooner when parking brake components corrode or when brake fluid maintenance is overdue. Choosing OEM rotors and pads at our dealership reduces the risk of uneven wear and repeat repairs. We back work with warranty coverage and documented inspections so you know exactly what was done and why. Take advantage of our service specials and ask about service financing to complete necessary repairs now and pay over time. To keep travel plans on schedule, schedule service online and let our team get you safe, back on the road, and confident in your braking system.
