How often should you replace your 2026 Chevrolet Equinox rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor imperfections and restores a smooth face if the rotor thickness remains within OEM limits; it’s a cost-efficient fix when appropriate.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or warped beyond repair — new OEM rotors restore original stopping performance.
• At Stevinson Chevrolet we recommend the safest, most economical option and honor warranty requirements; repairs under warranty must be performed at certified dealerships.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve the same purpose—transforming kinetic energy into heat to slow your vehicle—but they experience different loads. On the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox the front rotors handle a larger share of braking force and heat, so they commonly wear faster than rear rotors. That difference affects inspection intervals and service planning: front rotors may need resurfacing or replacement sooner, while rear rotors often last longer unless exposed to heavy towing or aggressive driving. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO our technicians evaluate front and rear systems separately, measure rotor thickness, and check for warping, scoring, or uneven wear. We explain the cost implications clearly: delaying repair on a worn front rotor risks damaged pads, calipers, and ABS sensors, increasing total repair costs and downtime. Take advantage of our OEM parts, certified techs, and documented service history. To protect braking performance and resale value, schedule appointment today and ask about our current service specials and financing options.
