Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: the front rotors handle the majority of stopping force and heat during braking, while rear rotors contribute to balance and parking brake function. Because the front brakes do more work, front rotors typically wear faster and are more prone to heat-related issues like warping or heavy groove formation. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our certified technicians inspect both axles and measure rotor thickness against OEM tolerances to recommend resurfacing or replacement. Choosing dealership service means access to correct part numbers, factory procedures, and proper torque specs for wheel hub assemblies—factors that prolong rotor life and protect your truck’s braking system. We make it easy to protect your braking performance: check current service specials, take advantage of service financing if needed, and schedule service online for a fast, transparent repair that keeps you safe on Colorado roads.

At Stevinson Chevrolet, we use OEM rotors and follow factory procedures to ensure optimal contact between pad and rotor, minimizing noise and extending component life. Servicing with our dealership offers certified technicians, documented inspections, and warranty-backed parts—advantages that often translate to lower lifetime costs compared with unverified repairs.
