Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2026 Hyundai Elantra?

• Not always, but replacing pads and rotors together is recommended when rotors are scored, warped, or below minimum thickness to ensure even wear and optimal braking performance.
• Arapahoe Hyundai inspects both components and recommends the most cost-effective solution—resurfacing when appropriate or full replacement with OEM parts when required.
• Choosing dealership service often means faster turnaround, certified technicians, and warranty protection that independent shops can’t match; warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• To set up an inspection or to take advantage of discounts, schedule appointment and review our service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) smooths a rotor’s surface to remove light scoring or unevenness; replacement installs a new rotor when thickness or structural integrity is compromised.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution when done to factory specs, but replacement is necessary if machining would exceed safe limits.
• Arapahoe Hyundai evaluates both options and recommends the safest, most economical path—our use of OEM parts and certified processes delivers long-term value that preserves warranties.
