What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes a thin layer of rotor material to restore a flat braking surface when thickness and condition allow; replacement installs new rotors when resurfacing is not viable.
• Resurfacing can save money in the short term but is only recommended when it restores safe dimensions; replacement ensures maximum life and consistent performance.
• At Stevinson Chevrolet we measure rotor thickness and recommend the option that delivers better long-term value and preserved warranty coverage.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The brake system on a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse splits work between the front and rear rotors; the front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force because weight transfers forward when stopping. That increased load means front rotors commonly wear faster and may require replacement more frequently than rear rotors. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO our technicians evaluate front and rear condition independently, using exact measurements and OEM-guided tolerances. When rotors show uneven wear, vibration, or scoring, we explain whether resurfacing will restore balance or if replacement is the smarter long-term choice. Customers appreciate that we include a clear comparison of costs and the expected lifespan for each option, emphasizing how proper service reduces future repair cycles. We also highlight promotions and loyalty programs so your maintenance budget goes further — check our service specials before booking. Ready to protect your stopping power and resale value?
