What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor surface to remove light grooves and restore even contact; replacing gives you new rotors when machining isn’t advisable due to thinness or severe damage.
  • Resurfacing can be cost-effective short term, but our technicians at Stevinson Chevrolet evaluate thickness, balance, and heat damage to recommend the safest, most economical choice.
  • All work uses OEM-quality standards and parts when necessary; warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid, so trust your 2022 Chevrolet Malibu to our experts.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding front and rear brake rotors for your 2022 Chevrolet Malibu helps you prioritize maintenance and avoid larger repairs. Front rotors typically handle more braking load because weight transfers forward when you stop; as a result, front rotors usually wear faster and may need attention sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors still matter—imbalanced wear between front and rear can lead to uneven braking, pulling, or premature pad wear. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for warping, and inspect calipers and hardware to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the right call for each axle. We use OEM parts and proven procedures to preserve braking performance and vehicle safety. Take advantage of dealership-backed service specials and ask about loyalty programs or multi-service discounts.
