• Our dealership pricing is clear and competitive; using OEM parts and certified technicians delivers both immediate savings in repair accuracy and long-term savings by avoiding repeat issues.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe perform distinct roles and wear differently. Front rotors typically handle a greater share of braking force because weight transfers forward during stopping; as a result, front rotors often show wear sooner than rear rotors and may require replacement more frequently. Rear rotors help stabilize braking and are essential for balanced stopping performance, but they can be protected longer with proper maintenance and occasional resurfacing. At Nalley Hyundai in GA we explain these differences clearly and inspect both axle sets to give a full picture of vehicle health. Our certified Hyundai technicians use factory specs to measure thickness, check lateral runout, and inspect for heat-related damage or cracks. When repair is needed we present honest options: resurfacing to extend life when within spec, or OEM rotor replacement when safety dictates. Choosing Nalley Hyundai means you get genuine parts, documented service history, and warranties that protect your investment. For convenience we offer online booking—schedule service—and current savings through our service specials, so maintaining a safe, smooth ride is simple and affordable.
