2013 Toyota Prius Plug-in Brake Pads and Rotors

The best long-term approach for your 2013 Toyota Prius Plug-in is to evaluate pads and rotors together, not separately. Replacing pads alone on worn or warped rotors can leave you with noisy braking, pulsation, and fast re-wear that forces another repair sooner. At Larry H. Miller American Toyota Albuquerque our service technicians perform a full brake system assessment using OEM specifications to determine if rotors should be resurfaced or replaced when pads are changed. That combined approach delivers safer, quieter, and more consistent braking and preserves the intended operation of the Prius Plug-in’s regenerative braking. We use factory parts and calibrated tools so the friction materials match the rotor surface and braking balance remains stable. When both pads and rotors are serviced at the same time, you benefit immediately from improved stopping power and in the long term through extended component life and fewer visits. Schedule your service online to confirm availability — schedule service — and check our current service specials for added savings.
