Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front rotors on the 2026 Hyundai Elantra typically endure more heat and braking force because the vehicle's weight shifts forward during stops. That means front rotors often wear faster than rear rotors and may require replacement sooner. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn our technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and evaluate runout to recommend the safest, most cost-effective action. We explain the difference between resurfacing and replacement and show you the inspection numbers so you understand why a decision is made. We use Hyundai-recommended OEM rotors and pads for precise fit and braking feel, which reduces the chance of repeat work and delivers long-term savings.
