Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2018 Chevrolet Express uses front and rear rotors sized and tuned for their braking roles; front rotors generally handle a larger share of braking force and therefore wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors often contend with heat from repeated heavy stops and may require replacement sooner, while rear rotors can suffer from corrosion or uneven wear when parking brake usage is frequent. At Stevinson Chevrolet we inspect both axles and provide a clear breakdown of the most common issues—warping, scoring, thickness loss, and corrosion—along with the cost implications of delaying repairs, including reduced stopping performance and higher long-term expense. We stand behind OEM parts, technician certification, and warranty coverage; any warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid, and our advisors can explain available service financing to spread payments. Take advantage of our loyalty programs and current service specials, or schedule appointment today for a complete brake evaluation and prompt, professional service.
