2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe provides consistent braking performance and avoids common issues that occur when new pads are paired with worn rotors. When rotors are scored, warped, or below thickness specification, new pads can produce noise, vibration, and reduced stopping power. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn our technicians perform a complete inspection that measures rotor thickness and runout, evaluates caliper function, and checks hydraulic components. If rotors need replacement, we recommend OEM rotors matched to the vehicle’s specifications so the pad material and rotor metallurgy work together. Doing both services together reduces the chance of a follow-up repair and yields better pedal feel and heat dissipation under load — immediate safety benefits and long-term savings. To protect warranty coverage and ensure the correct parts, schedule service with our certified team and ask about current service specials.
