2012 Toyota RAV4 EV Brake Pads and Rotors

Keeping brake pads and rotors evaluated together protects the braking performance of your 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV and delivers the best long-term value.

At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria our technicians measure pad thickness, rotor runout and surface condition, then recommend the most cost-effective solution—sometimes resurfacing is the right choice, other times full replacement is safer.
