Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu?

• If rotors are scored or warped, pairing new pads with resurfaced or new rotors prevents premature pad wear and saves money over time.

• Consider our maintenance schedule service options and check current service specials to reduce ongoing costs.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

• Common signs include pulsation in the brake pedal, grinding noises, visible scoring or cracking, and reduced stopping power.
• Early detection at Stevinson Chevrolet prevents more extensive damage and lowers long-term repair costs.
• We offer fast diagnostics and clear estimates—you can schedule service online.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Thickness below manufacturer minimum, deep grooves, or severe warping are indicators for replacement rather than resurfacing.
• Our technicians measure rotor thickness and inspect for heat damage; we provide transparent options with OEM parts and warranty protection.
• Repairs covered by warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

How often should you replace your 2015 Chevrolet Malibu rotors?

• There’s no fixed interval—inspect every oil change or at the first sign of vibration or noise; many owners replace rotors between 30,000 and 70,000 miles.
• Regular inspections at Stevinson Chevrolet in CO help you plan replacements before safety or performance is affected.
• Ask about service financing to manage larger repairs without delay and take advantage of our service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes a thin layer to restore a smooth surface; replacement installs new rotors when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits.
• Resurfacing can be cost-effective when done early, but replacement is sometimes necessary for safety and longevity—our diagnosis explains immediate and long-term value.
• Certified dealership service at Stevinson Chevrolet ensures correct machining tolerances, OEM parts, and warranty-backed workmanship.
