Brake Rotor

Toyota Brake Rotor Resurfacing Smoothes Out Your Rotors

When the surface of the rotor becomes warped, you'll feel resistance or unevenness when you press down on your brake pedal. If you have a warped rotor, you should get a Toyota brake rotor resurfacing service when you notice that your car isn't braking as it should, and you know your brake pads are OK.

Reasons Why Your Brake Rotors Need Resurfacing at Berglund Toyota

Uneven wear from the brake pads is another issue that affects the surface of the rotors. When your Toyota brake rotors are warped, you lose braking power, and you'll hear squealing noises when you press on your brakes. Brake pads are designed to press against a smooth, flat surface for optimal braking power. Warped rotors make it hard to brake smoothly and put you at risk if you don't address the issue.

When You Should Get Your Brake Rotors Checked

It's recommended to get your Toyota brake rotors checked every 50,000 miles. Your brake pads last anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 miles, so your brake service may not always sync with getting your rotors checked. It's best to get into the habit of having your rotors checked once a year to determine their condition and if they need resurfacing or replacement. You'll stay ahead of your car's maintenance needs while being secure, knowing your vehicle is safe to drive.
