2017 Toyota Prius v Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2017 Toyota Prius v prevents premature wear, noise, and uneven braking that can occur when new pads are paired with old, scored rotors. At Stevinson Toyota West our technicians perform a complete inspection to determine whether rotors should be resurfaced or replaced. Matching new pads to properly prepared rotors ensures consistent stopping performance and even bedding-in, which is especially important for hybrid systems that blend regenerative and friction braking. We use Toyota OEM pads and rotors, which are engineered to the right friction compound and machining tolerances for the Prius v. That means smoother engagement, less dust, and fewer return visits. When you choose our dealership you also get documented service history that preserves value and warranty eligibility, and we’ll review financing options if you need them.
