Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze?

• Our technicians recommend replacing pads with rotors when wear is uneven or when pads are near end-of-life to ensure optimal braking performance and longevity.
• Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and ensure proper parts and labor procedures.
• To confirm the best course, schedule appointment for a brake inspection and take advantage of any available service specials.

How often should you replace your 2013 Chevrolet Cruze rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) smooths the rotor surface to remove minor scoring and restore even thickness, while replacement installs new rotors when resurfacing would leave the rotor below minimum thickness or if heat damage is present.
• Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term solution, but replacement ensures long-term reliability and consistent braking feel, especially when paired with new pads.
• Stevinson Chevrolet recommends the safest, most cost-effective option after a thorough inspection — always using OEM parts and factory-recommended procedures to preserve performance and warranty.
