How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors on a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe?

• General guidance: brake pads commonly last 30,000–70,000 miles depending on driving habits; rotors often last two pad cycles but may need replacement sooner if warped or deeply scored.
• Inspection matters: regular inspections catch uneven wear and rotor damage before it affects braking performance—our technicians will inspect both pads and rotors at each visit.
• Driving conditions: frequent towing, mountain driving, or stop-and-go traffic can shorten pad life and warrant earlier rotor servicing.
• Savings & peace of mind: routine dealership inspections help avoid emergency repairs and extend component life; book a checkup via schedule service and review current service specials.
• Warranty reminder: if your vehicle is covered by any remaining manufacturer warranty, warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.
