• All warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. We offer service financing and transparent estimates; to proceed, schedule service and compare our service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra uses a front-and-rear braking system where front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force and therefore wear faster than the rear rotors. Front rotors absorb most of the kinetic energy when stopping, especially in everyday city and highway driving, which makes them more prone to thinning, warping, and edge wear. Rear rotors, while still critical for balanced braking, generally have a longer service life. At Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque, our technicians inspect both front and rear rotors for thickness, runout, and surface condition using factory tools and OEM limits. This ensures we recommend resurfacing when possible or replacement when necessary to restore braking performance and prevent uneven pad wear that can shorten the life of brake components. We frequently bundle inspections with other routine service to save you time and money; check our service specials for current offers. To protect your safety and peace of mind, schedule service online and let our certified Hyundai techs return your Elantra to optimal braking performance.
