Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear brake rotors on the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV serve distinct roles and age differently. Front rotors handle a larger share of stopping force because weight transfers forward under braking; as a result front rotors commonly show wear sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a critical part in stability and emergency stopping, especially on a front-wheel-drive EV like the Equinox EV where regenerative braking assists but does not replace mechanical brakes. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our certified technicians inspect both front and rear rotors, measure thickness, and evaluate whether resurfacing or replacement offers the best balance of safety and value. We explain the repair rationale, provide OEM parts, and highlight any applicable service specials or loyalty discounts to reduce cost. To preserve ride quality and braking performance, schedule service or contact our service team for a timely appointment and clear estimate.
