Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe generally handle more kinetic energy because braking shifts weight forward, so front rotors often wear faster than rears. Rear rotors still play a critical role—especially when towing or carrying heavy loads—and both sets must be evaluated for thickness, runout, and surface condition. At Stevinson Chevrolet we inspect front and rear rotors side-by-side, measure to factory tolerance, and recommend resurfacing where safe or OEM replacement when necessary. Neglecting a worn front rotor can increase stopping distances and stress the ABS system, while ignored rear issues can create uneven pad wear and reduced stability. We make pricing transparent, explain immediate and long-term savings of using OEM parts, and offer warranty-backed labor and parts. Take advantage of our service financing if you need repairs now and want to pay over time.
