Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on the 2018 Toyota Prius Prime relies on both front and rear rotors, but they often wear differently. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force in normal driving, so they typically encounter higher temperatures and more friction—this causes them to wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a critical role in balance and stability, especially in emergency braking and ABS engagement. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray in Murray, UT, our technicians evaluate both axles, checking rotor thickness, run-out, and pad mating surfaces. When front rotors show heat spots or warping, they can introduce vibration and reduce stopping precision. Replacing only the front without addressing the rear can create uneven braking feel or premature wear. We use OEM-spec parts, and our service advisors will explain available options, including resurfacing when safe and replacement when necessary. We also highlight any applicable service specials and loyalty benefits to help offset cost. To keep your Prius Prime safe and responsive, schedule service online or contact our service team—our certified technicians and quick bay turnaround make it easy to get back on the road with confidence.
