2018 Hyundai Sonata Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together on your 2018 Hyundai Sonata often delivers the most reliable stopping performance and longest-lasting results. New pads on worn rotors can lead to rapid uneven wear, noise, and reduced braking efficiency. At Arapahoe Hyundai, our technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and surface condition before recommending a plan tailored to your vehicle. We use OEM-quality parts engineered for the Sonata’s braking system, which helps preserve ABS calibration and pedal feel. When rotors show scoring or thickness variance, replacing or resurfacing them at the same time as pads reduces labor time and avoids a follow-up visit. That combined approach yields immediate performance benefits and lowers total ownership costs over time by preventing premature replacement cycles. We also document every measurement and test drive so you understand the condition before and after service. To make maintenance simple, take advantage of our current service specials and schedule service online—plus we offer service financing so you can address both safety and budget needs without delay.
