What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• A professional inspection will confirm whether resurfacing can restore smooth braking or if full replacement is required to protect calipers and pads.
• Bring your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe to Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa and schedule service to address symptoms promptly and prevent higher repair costs later.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Technicians measure rotor thickness and check for warping or deep scoring; rotors below manufacturer minimum thickness must be replaced for safety.
• If resurfacing leaves uneven thickness or weakening, replacement is recommended to maintain braking performance and avoid repeat labor costs.
• We provide clear, itemized estimates and explain how choosing OEM replacement at our dealership yields longer-term savings and warranty protection.

How often should you replace your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe rotors?

• Frequency varies by use and driving style; have your brakes inspected annually or at the first sign of vibration, noise, or reduced stopping power.
• Routine inspections at Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa help predict replacement intervals and avoid unexpected failures.
• Ask about our service specials and service financing options to manage maintenance costs easily.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing turns and smooths rotors to remove light scoring and restore a flat surface; it is a cost-effective solution when rotors remain above minimum thickness.
• Replacement installs new OEM rotors when damage is too deep, thickness is below spec, or resurfacing would shorten lifespan—new rotors prevent recurring vibration and uneven pad wear.
• Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa evaluates condition precisely and recommends the option that saves you money now and down the road; warranty-covered work must be done at a certified dealership for eligibility.
