Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles: the front rotors handle a larger share of braking load and typically wear faster, while rear rotors support balance and stability. Because front rotors dissipate more heat and absorb greater kinetic energy, they often require replacement sooner. Our technicians evaluate both axles and recommend selective resurfacing or replacement based on measured wear, heat damage, and Hyundai specifications. Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa offers service conveniences like priority scheduling, clear communication, and OEM parts so repairs are done right the first time. We also run loyalty programs and display seasonal discounts through our service specials for added value. If you notice pulsation, noise, or reduced braking response, act promptly: schedule appointment online or call to speak with our service team. Protect your 2021 Hyundai Sonata with certified care, factory parts, and financing options that make safety accessible now while saving you money over the long term.
