Differences in load, driving habits, and frequently towing the Traverse’s capacity can accelerate front rotor wear. At Stevinson Chevrolet, our technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and recommend resurfacing or replacement only when it truly benefits longevity and safety. We use OEM parts and exacting factory procedures so rotors and pads bed in correctly, reducing vibration and improving stopping consistency.
