• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term fix, but replacement with OEM rotors often provides longer life and better performance; our technicians advise the best option for safety and total cost of ownership.
• All warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership; learn about current offers by viewing our service specials or schedule service now.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe serve different roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking load and heat, so they typically wear faster than rear rotors. The front axle often bears higher kinetic energy during stops, meaning front rotors are more susceptible to glazing, warping, and thickness loss. Rear rotors support stability and parking brake functions, and while they may last longer in many driving conditions, they still require inspection for scoring and corrosion. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa in Tampa, FL, our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, check runout, and recommend resurfacing only when the rotor remains within Hyundai’s specifications. We prioritize OEM replacement when necessary to preserve brake performance, ABS calibration, and long-term reliability. Enjoy added savings with our posted service specials and flexible service financing if you need to pay over time. To protect stopping power and vehicle longevity, schedule service at our Tampa service center — our factory-trained team will explain options, warranties, and the immediate and long-term value of OEM repairs.
