Why is a brake service important for a 2018 Toyota Sequoia?

2018 Toyota Sequoia Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads without addressing worn rotors can give short-lived results; for a heavy SUV like the 2018 Toyota Sequoia, pairing pads and rotors is often the most cost-effective and safety-conscious approach. When rotors are scored, warped, or out of thickness spec, new pads will bed improperly and accelerate uneven wear—leading to vibration, noise, and reduced stopping power. At Stevinson Toyota West we inspect rotors and pads together, using OEM rotors when replacement is required and machining only when within factory tolerance. This paired strategy ensures smooth bedding, consistent friction characteristics, and the longest possible service life. Our team explains findings clearly and provides a written estimate that shows how doing both jobs now reduces future labor and parts costs. Take advantage of our expertise and service specials, or schedule appointment for an inspection so you leave with confidence and optimized braking performance.
