Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a brake service important for a 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5?

• Protects electric-specific systems: brake service preserves regenerative braking performance and ensures the hydraulic components and pads are working with the IONIQ 5's braking strategy.
• Safety and stopping distance: regular inspections catch worn pads, glazed rotors, or degraded brake fluid that can increase stopping distance.
• Long-term savings: maintaining brakes at Arapahoe Hyundai often costs less than independent shops when you factor in OEM parts longevity, fewer repeat repairs, and factory-trained technicians.
• Warranty and documentation: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to retain coverage; we handle warranty work properly and transparently.
• Convenience: ask about our service financing to get needed work now and pay later, and schedule service online for a time that fits your day.

• Rotor condition: rotors can last longer than pads, but if rotors are warped or below thickness spec we recommend replacing them at the same time as pads.
