How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors serve the same fundamental purpose but experience different loads. On the 2015 Chevrolet Malibu the front rotors handle a greater share of braking force, which means they generally wear faster and may require replacement more often than rear rotors. Rear rotors can be subject to different wear patterns if the vehicle uses a parking brake integrated into the rear assembly. Understanding these differences helps our technicians prioritize repairs that restore balanced braking. We discuss available options—resurfacing when feasible or full replacement when necessary—always recommending OEM rotors and certified installation. Take advantage of our loyalty programs and service specials to reduce costs, and remember that repairs performed here are warranty-eligible and backed by trained technicians.
