2013 Toyota RAV4 Brake Pads and Rotors

The brake pads and rotors on a 2013 Toyota RAV4 function as a matched system; replacing pads without addressing rotor wear can shorten the life of new pads and compromise braking performance. At Stevinson Toyota East our certified technicians inspect both components thoroughly to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is best. We use OEM parts engineered for your RAV4's 2.5L engine and front-wheel-drive setup, delivering consistent pedal feel and optimal stopping distances. When both pads and rotors are replaced together, bedding-in is more predictable, vibration and noise are minimized, and the result is a quieter, more reliable braking system. We document measurements and show you the wear patterns so you can understand the recommendation. To save you money, we publish rotating promotions — check our service specials — and offer service financing so repairs don’t have to wait. If you prefer a scheduled visit, you can schedule service online; our advisors will confirm parts availability and an estimated time so your visit is efficient and straightforward.
