Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors serve the same basic function — converting brake pad friction into stopping force — but they experience different loads. On the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu the front rotors handle a larger share of braking force due to weight transfer when stopping, which is why front rotors typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors often endure less heat and stress but can be affected by parking brake use, corrosion, or uneven pad wear. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado we explain these dynamics clearly and inspect both axles to avoid premature wear of any component. When you bring your Malibu to our service center, our certified technicians measure thickness, check for runout and scoring, and recommend resurfacing only when it restores safety and performance. We back every repair with transparent pricing and warranty coverage, and we encourage customers to review our current service specials for savings. To keep both front and rear systems performing optimally, schedule service with us — same-day service or convenient appointment times are available to get you back on the road quickly and safely.
