2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors on a 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in at the same time often delivers the best long-term performance and value. New pads on worn rotors can lead to vibration, uneven wear and earlier repeat service. At Stevinson Toyota West our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for run-out and surface scoring, and recommend whether resurfacing or replacement is the smarter choice. Because the Prius Plug-in's regenerative braking reduces pad wear, rotors can still age from heat cycles, and we inspect caliper operation and mounting hardware as part of the job. When you choose OEM pads and rotors and professional installation at our Toyota service center, you preserve braking feel, safety, and efficiency. We make it easy to plan: check our current service specials, use service financing if needed, and schedule service online. Choosing complete pad-and-rotor care minimizes downtime and delivers superior stopping power over time, especially for a hybrid vehicle that relies on both mechanical and regenerative systems.
