Brake Rotor Resurfacing / Replacement Service
Brake Rotors
The Brake System in every Toyota car, truck, SUV, or van was designed with the same basic mechanical strategy - It is a hydraulic system that relies on a master cylinder to generate stopping force, passing that force through the brake lines using brake fluid to clamp the brake pads against the brake rotors powerfully. The stopping force between the brake pads and rotors creates the strong resistance that ultimately brings your vehicle to a stop. The Brake Rotors play a central role in brake system performance as they accept hundreds of pounds of force with associated friction and heat. Over time, the intensity of the job can cause losses to the metallic integrity of the brake rotor surface that comes into contact with the brake pad. From cracks, grooves, to warping, decreases in brake rotor integrity also decrease brake system performance. When the physical integrity of the brake rotors is compromised, the wisest decision is to have them resurfaced or replaced as necessary to preserve powerful braking with maximum passenger safety.

Warning Signs associated with defective Brake Rotor Performance
- Annoying noises while braking
- Brake vibration or pulsation
- Require increased distance to stop
- Rotor surface has grooves, scoring, or cracking
Even the slightest of integrity losses can cause your vehicle to require more distance to stop, which is a safety concern for us at Rolling Hills Toyota. If the rotors are warped, the brake system can fail.
How to know if my brake rotors need resurfacing or replacement service?
At Rolling Hills Toyota, we encourage everyone to have the brake rotors inspected by an expert that understands your vehicle inside and out. Our Toyota Certified Technicians have the training and experience to examine the brake rotors to decide the best corrective action. Minor cracks and grooving that decrease friction can be corrected with resurfacing; however, if the rotors are warped or grooved significantly, the best corrective action is to replace them as resurfacing will not be able to restore factory specifications. Gain peace of mind with your Brake Rotor Service at Rolling Hills Toyota because we have the training, knowledge, and Toyota Certified Technicians perfect for the job.
Rolling Hills Toyota is conveniently located in St. Joseph, MO near Savannah, Dearborn, and Cameron.
