Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid?

• Not always, but matching new pads with worn rotors can shorten new pad life and reduce braking performance. Our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to recommend the best option.
• When replacement is recommended, we use OEM or equivalent-quality parts to ensure braking performance, and we document the reasons so you can make an informed decision.
• We offer transparent pricing, and our team can help you choose between resurfacing or replacement based on safety, longevity, and cost.
