2012 Hyundai Sonata Brake Pads and Rotors

When we service both brake pads and rotors on your 2012 Hyundai Sonata, we follow a thorough, vehicle-specific approach that maximizes safety and longevity. Replacing pads alone can restore bite temporarily, but pairing new pads with properly measured or replaced rotors prevents premature wear and vibration. At Arapahoe Hyundai our technicians measure rotor thickness, inspect for heat spots or scoring, and recommend resurfacing only when it meets OEM tolerances; often replacing rotors provides the best long-term value. Using genuine Hyundai parts ensures proper material composition and heat tolerance tuned to your vehicle’s 2.4L engine and braking system. Choosing a paired service reduces repeat labor, lowers lifetime maintenance costs, and restores the smooth, predictable pedal feel that matters for everyday driving and highway confidence. We stand behind our work with dealership warranties, and we offer flexible service financing so you can complete recommended repairs now and pay over time. To take advantage of seasonal discounts, check our service specials, then schedule service to reserve a bay with our certified technicians.
