Brake Services
Brake Fluid Exchange – Brake fluid requires routine inspections every 7,500 miles, and Hyundai recommends exchange service at 22,500 miles for many models. It is important to know this recommendation for your specific model and year, as this varies. Since brake fluid will ultimately break down, get contaminated with moisture, or leak, it will require an exchange service to keep it transferring braking force properly. Learn More
Brake Pad Replacement – We know that brake pads will need to be replaced as they are designed to wear out over tens of thousands of miles on average. The average pads last around 50,000 miles, but driving habits and vehicle load-bearing physics heavily influence this approximation. Suppose you have heard an audible screeching when braking or the pads have little thickness remaining. In that case, we offer a front, rear, and all brake pad replacement service, including the installation of genuine Hyundai OEM parts of the highest quality.
Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement – Brake rotors take a beating from the brake pads with every application of the brake pedal. They will eventually get grooves, cracks, or otherwise blemished which reduces the surface area, generating resistance that is your vehicle’s stopping power. Minor blemishes can be removed via resurfacing service, but rotors with damage will require replacement service to restore specifications.
Caliper Service – The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.
Brakes Maintenance for Optimal Stopping Power and Safety
When you apply the brakes, the brake pads are clamped against the rotors at approximately 1,000psi and this creates tremendous friction. This friction can heat the braking parts to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit for the average car, which happens every time you drive. Given the task at hand and the fact that brake pads will wear out by design and the rotors will get blemished, your vehicle’s braking system simply requires routine maintenance to generate stopping power at specifications and for ideal safety while driving.
