The integrity of both pads and rotors determines braking performance for your 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Replacing pads alone on worn rotors can lead to pulsation, reduced stopping power, and faster wear of the new pads. At Bill Estes Toyota we always inspect rotors and pads together, measuring thickness, run-out, and surface condition to recommend the best course: precision resurfacing when feasible or OEM rotor replacement when necessary. Our technicians use factory-approved procedures and OEM parts designed for the hybrid's regenerative braking calibration, ensuring brake feel and hybrid system harmony. Combining pad and rotor service reduces repeat visits and lowers lifetime costs by preventing premature wear.
