Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric?

• Not always, but in many cases replacing pads and rotors together provides the best results—new pads against worn rotors can lead to glazing, uneven wear, and reduced stopping power.
• Nalley Hyundai technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to recommend the most cost-effective, long-lasting option.
• If rotors can be resurfaced to meet OEM specifications we’ll present that as an option; otherwise we recommend OEM replacement for optimal safety and longevity.
• Our dealership pricing is transparent, and by using OEM parts we often save customers money over time by avoiding premature follow-up repairs.
• Use our online scheduler to schedule service and ask about current service specials and financing.

How do you make 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric brake pads last longer?

• Adopt gentle braking and make use of the Kona Electric’s regenerative braking to reduce mechanical pad use and slow wear.
• Regular inspections and timely pad replacement prevent rotor damage that would shorten both pad and rotor life.
• Nalley Hyundai recommends OEM pads and professional installation to ensure correct bedding and surface contact for maximum life.
• Ask our service advisors about protective coatings and corrosion prevention to help rotors and pads last in Georgia’s climate.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Common signs include pulsation in the brake pedal, a vibrating steering wheel under braking, visible scoring or grooves, and squealing or grinding noises.
• Rust buildup and uneven rotor thickness create longer stopping distances and inconsistent brake feel—issues our certified Hyundai technicians diagnose precisely.
• Addressing rotor issues early at Nalley Hyundai prevents more expensive repairs later, providing both immediate and long-term savings.
• Remember: repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain eligible—our team will help confirm coverage.
• To inspect symptoms, schedule service or check current service specials.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Technicians measure rotor thickness and runout against Hyundai specifications; if measurements fall below safe limits or show excessive warp, replacement is recommended.
• Visual wear such as deep scoring, cracks, or heat spots also indicates replacement rather than resurfacing.
• Nalley Hyundai documents findings and explains immediate repair needs and long-term cost implications so you can make an informed decision.
• We offer transparent pricing, OEM parts, certified techs, and service financing—so you can maintain safety without surprise costs.
• To protect warranty status and ensure correct procedures, schedule service with our team today.

How often should you replace your 2020 Hyundai Kona Electric rotors?

• Replacement intervals depend on driving style, environment, and maintenance, but many drivers see rotor replacement between 30,000 and 70,000 miles.
• Because the Kona Electric benefits from regenerative braking, inspections at regular service intervals help determine actual need rather than relying on rote mileage.
• Nalley Hyundai’s certified inspections can extend rotor life through timely pad replacement and preventive maintenance—saving money over time.
• Ask about financing or current service specials to make replacement convenient and affordable.
• Book an inspection anytime by scheduling service online.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) removes a thin layer of metal to restore a flat surface and can be a cost-effective option when rotors remain within thickness and safety tolerances.
• Replacement is necessary when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or too warped for safe resurfacing.
• Nalley Hyundai evaluates both options and recommends the choice that provides the best combination of safety, longevity, and value—using OEM parts to maintain performance.
• Resurfacing can save money in the short term; however, OEM replacement often provides longer-term reliability and avoids repeated shop visits, representing a better total value.
