How often should you replace your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing removes minor imperfections to restore a smooth braking surface and can extend rotor life if thickness remains within spec.

- Our transparent approach compares both options, highlights warranty benefits, and offers financing and current service specials to save you money.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear brake rotors on a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox serve the same fundamental role—convert kinetic energy into heat to slow the vehicle—but they experience different loads and often require different service attention. Front rotors typically handle most of the braking force and heat, so they tend to wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors may last longer but can still develop grooves, rust, and uneven wear from parking brake use or misaligned calipers. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our certified technicians inspect both axles for thickness, run-out, and scoring to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, most economical choice. We use OEM parts and manufacturer specifications for every repair, which reduces the likelihood of premature wear and ensures braking balance.
