How long do 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport rotors last?

Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport?

• Arapahoe Hyundai’s certified technicians measure pad thickness, rotor surface and runout to recommend the most cost-effective option and to protect long-term system health.
