• Our certified technicians assess both pads and rotors and explain options clearly, including OEM choices, resurfacing vs. replacement, and warranty implications.
• We offer service financing so you can address both now and pay over time; to proceed, schedule service and ask about current service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor scoring and corrects small runout issues to restore a smooth braking surface; it is cost-effective when rotors remain above minimum thickness.

• Stevinson Chevrolet's technicians recommend the best option based on measurements and long-term value—repairing when safe and replacing when necessary to protect braking performance and warranty coverage.
