- Work done at Stevinson Chevrolet uses OEM parts and warranty-backed labor—repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage valid.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?
- Common symptoms include vibration, squealing, longer stopping distances, visible scoring, or a pulsating brake pedal.
- If you notice any of these, bring your 2016 Chevrolet Equinox in for inspection—you can schedule appointment online and ask about payment options including service financing.
How do you know when to replace brake rotors?
- Rotors should be replaced when they are below minimum thickness, warped, heavily scored, or if resurfacing won’t restore smooth braking.
- Stevinson Chevrolet provides transparent estimates showing immediate and long-term savings from correct repairs and OEM replacements.

2016 Chevrolet Equinox Brake Rotors
At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, we understand how critical brake rotors are to your 2016 Chevrolet Equinox’s safety and performance. Rotors work by providing a smooth, flat surface for brake pads to clamp against — converting kinetic energy to heat and stopping your vehicle reliably. Our factory-trained technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition with OEM-level tolerances to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is required. Servicing rotors at Stevinson Chevrolet provides clear advantages: OEM parts designed for your Equinox, calibrated torque and installation procedures, and warranty protection that preserves value and peace of mind. We prioritize efficient, transparent service so you know the exact work required and the long-term benefits of correct repair. For fast scheduling and to learn about payment options, you can schedule service online or review current service specials before arrival.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors perform similar functions but typically face different stress levels. On the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox, the front rotors handle more braking force due to weight transfer during stops, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors can last longer but may suffer issues from corrosion, pad material transfer, or parking brake wear. Our technicians at Stevinson Chevrolet assess both front and rear systems, measuring thickness and flatness and checking calipers and pads for balanced operation. Replacing only the failing axle can be cost-effective, but pairing pads and rotors or replacing both axles can restore balanced braking and extend overall life. We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and warranty-covered labor to ensure immediate safety and long-term savings. Take advantage of our service specials and financing options — schedule appointment today to protect your Equinox.
