Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu?
- Not always, but replacing pads and rotors together is often recommended to ensure even wear and optimal braking performance.
- If pads are worn down to the backing plate, new rotors will be damaged quickly; conversely, new pads on heavily scored rotors can wear prematurely.
- Stevinson Chevrolet inspects both components and recommends the most cost-effective, long-term solution using OEM parts and warranty-backed labor.
- We provide service financing and transparent estimates so you can choose the right option—schedule service to get a definitive assessment.

- Regular inspections and timely rotor resurfacing at Stevinson Chevrolet keep the braking surface true, which extends pad life and improves stopping consistency.
- Using OEM replacement pads installed by certified technicians ensures correct material compatibility and predictable wear patterns.

- Resurfacing can save money short term, but Stevinson Chevrolet evaluates long-term value—sometimes replacement with an OEM rotor prevents uneven wear that causes repeat services.
- All warranty work must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid; we provide transparent advice so you know whether resurfacing or replacement is the best investment.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking system on a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu separates duties between the front and rear rotors: front rotors handle a greater share of braking force due to weight transfer under deceleration, while rear rotors help stabilize and balance the vehicle. Because the front rotors do more of the heavy lifting, they commonly wear faster and show signs like vibration or excessive heat first. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO, our technicians measure thickness, check runout, and inspect hardware to determine whether machining or replacement is needed. We use OEM rotors and pads for balanced performance and to preserve braking characteristics engineered for your Malibu. Take advantage of our service financing to address urgent needs without delay, and check available service specials to lower out-of-pocket expense. If both front and rear work is required, our team explains bundled options that deliver immediate and long-term savings, reducing the chance of repeat visits. To protect warranty coverage and ensure proper installation by factory-trained technicians, schedule service with Stevinson Chevrolet today.
