- Bring your 2020 Chevrolet Trax in or schedule appointment online for a quick inspection with clear pricing and warranty options.
How do you know when to replace brake rotors?
- Rotors should be replaced when they are below manufacturer minimum thickness, are warped, or have deep grooves that cannot be safely resurfaced.

- Schedule routine service via our online schedule service tool and review available service specials.
What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing smooths the rotor to restore a flat braking surface when enough thickness remains; replacement installs a new OEM rotor when damage or wear exceeds safe limits.
- Resurfacing can be cost-effective short-term, but replacement ensures long-term performance and can be the smarter investment. At Stevinson Chevrolet we provide honest guidance to help you choose the right path.
- Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership — we offer certified technicians, OEM parts, transparent pricing, and service financing to get your vehicle safe now and keep costs predictable.
Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The 2020 Chevrolet Trax uses both front and rear rotors that perform different tasks: front rotors handle the lion’s share of braking force and heat dissipation, while rear rotors help stabilize and balance braking and assist with parking systems on some models. Because the front axle typically absorbs more kinetic energy, front rotors tend to wear faster — they are thicker, larger, and subject to higher temperatures that accelerate wear. Rear rotors, while still critical, often last longer unless the vehicle does frequent downhill driving, heavy towing, or aggressive braking. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO we inspect both axles during every brake check and explain which components require resurfacing or replacement. We prioritize OEM rotors and pads for fit and safety, and our certified technicians adjust and test each axle to ensure even pad contact and correct braking balance. Ask about current service specials and loyalty offers; then schedule service or a schedule appointment online to protect your Trax’s stopping power and your peace of mind.
