What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Common signs include vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal, audible squealing or grinding, visible scoring or grooves, and increased stopping distances.
• If you notice any symptoms, bring your 2012 Hyundai Equus to Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa for a fast inspection so our certified technicians can diagnose the issue and recommend machine or replacement options.

• If resurfacing will not restore safe dimensions or balance, we recommend OEM rotor replacement with clear pricing and warranty coverage.
• To get an inspection, schedule appointment online and take advantage of dealership expertise and service financing options.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) removes material to create a smooth braking surface; it can be cost-effective when rotors remain above minimum thickness and are free of severe damage.
• Replacement is necessary when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or damaged beyond safe limits—replacement restores original specifications and longevity, especially important for a luxury vehicle like the 2012 Hyundai Equus.
• Our team at Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa evaluates each rotor and recommends the safest, most economical option—with OEM parts, certified techs, clear warranties, and financing available to help you get the service you need now.
