What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• All warranty work must be performed at a certified dealership; to confirm the right path for your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, schedule service and check our service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 the front and rear brake rotors serve distinct roles: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force — roughly 60–70% — so they typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner. Rear rotors manage stability, parking brake engagement, and supplemental stopping power, and depending on drivetrain and load (towing or hauling), they can experience accelerated wear as well. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado we assess both axles and recommend targeted service: resurfacing where safe and replacing when thickness or run-out exceed manufacturer limits. Choosing factory OEM rotors and pads at the dealership preserves braking feel, ABS performance, and vehicle value compared with mismatched aftermarket parts. We back that quality with technician certification, clear estimates, and warranty protection — remember that warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. Review our current service specials and then schedule service online to protect braking performance and your Silverado’s long-term reliability.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brake Rotors

Stevinson Chevrolet offers precise diagnostic checks using calibrated micrometers and run-out gauges to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the best route. Dealer service provides advantages: factory-trained technicians who understand GM specifications, OEM parts matched to your Silverado, documented service history that helps maintain resale value, and warranty support when applicable.
