Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2021 Hyundai Kona uses front and rear disc brakes sized and tuned for their roles: front rotors handle the majority of stopping force and typically wear sooner due to weight transfer during braking, while rear rotors manage balance and parking brake functions. Because front rotors absorb more heat and stress, they can develop grooves, warping, or uneven wear faster than the rear set. At Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque in Albuquerque, NM, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout, and inspect caliper performance to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the best course. We explain the immediate costs and long-term benefits clearly: resurfacing can restore smooth braking when thickness permits; replacement with OEM parts guarantees factory-matched performance and preserves warranty coverage. We also highlight promotions and loyalty advantages — review our service specials or ask about loyalty discounts when you schedule service. Choosing certified service at our dealership reduces the chance of repeat repairs, extends rotor and pad life, and provides peace of mind backed by trained Hyundai technicians.
