  • Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa offers routine brake inspections, and our diagnostics help you plan service cost-effectively with transparent pricing and warranty assurance.
  • We also provide financing options so you can address critical repairs promptly without stressing your budget.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing restores a rotor’s flat surface by removing a thin layer of material when thickness and integrity remain within manufacturer specs.
  • Replacement is required when rotors are too thin, cracked, or warped beyond safe limits — replacement delivers long-term reliability and is often paired with OEM pads for best results.
  • At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa we evaluate both options, explain immediate and long-term savings, and perform any warranty-covered work only through certified service channels.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2013 Hyundai Sonata perform the same basic job — converting brake pad friction into stopping force — but front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking load. Because vehicle weight shifts forward during deceleration, the front brakes do more work and often wear faster. That means the front rotors may need resurfacing or replacement sooner than the rear rotors. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa, our technicians precisely measure rotor thickness, check for runout or warping, and recommend either resurfacing when safe or replacement with OEM components to restore factory performance. We emphasize transparent pricing and long-term value: fixing a rotor early avoids uneven pad wear, caliper damage, and more expensive repairs later.
