Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu take the brunt of stopping force, which is why they commonly wear faster than rear rotors. The front axle handles more weight transfer during braking, creating higher heat and wear; rear rotors typically last longer but still require regular assessment for rotor thickness and uneven wear. Our technicians at Stevinson Chevrolet evaluate both axles to identify the exact cause of vibration, noise, or uneven pad wear. Repair options range from resurfacing minor imperfections to full rotor replacement when thickness limits are reached. We emphasize transparency: you’ll get a clear explanation of each option, the cost implications of delaying repairs, and how OEM parts preserve braking balance and vehicle safety. Ask about current service specials or finance options to make maintenance more manageable. Ready to protect braking performance? Schedule service online or contact us for a personalized estimate.
