Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid serve different roles and often wear at different rates. Front rotors typically bear the brunt of stopping force because weight shifts forward under braking—this causes them to heat up and wear faster. Rear rotors contribute to overall stability and parking brake function; depending on driving habits and load, they may last considerably longer. At Bill Estes Toyota in Indiana, our technicians assess front and rear rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition using OEM specifications. We explain whether resurfacing or replacement is best, and we outline the costs and expected lifespan of each option so you can make an informed decision. If resurfacing is possible, it restores a smooth braking surface and can save money short term; when rotors are out of thickness or severely damaged, replacement with OEM rotors preserves safety and performance. Ask about our loyalty programs and current service specials—and when you’re ready, schedule service online for a prompt, professional appointment with factory-trained technicians.
