What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor imperfections and restores a smooth surface when rotors are still within thickness specifications; replacement is necessary for warped, cracked, or overly thin rotors.
• Resurfacing is often a lower-cost short-term solution, but replacement with OEM rotors delivers predictable performance and a longer-term fix backed by dealership warranty.
• At Herb Chambers Chevrolet, our technicians recommend the option that maximizes safety, value, and long-term savings—visit our service center and ask about financing options and service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro play different roles and face different stresses. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force because weight transfers forward under deceleration; as a result, front rotors typically wear faster than rear rotors and may require replacement sooner. Rear rotors, while subject to less load, still demand attention—imbalanced wear between axles can cause pulling, premature pad wear, or vibration. At Herb Chambers Chevrolet in MA we inspect both axles thoroughly and recommend the right service: resurfacing if the rotor is within thickness limits and free of cracks, or OEM replacement when wear or damage compromises safety. Choosing the dealership means certified technicians, calibrated equipment for precise resurfacing, and genuine Chevrolet rotors that match factory specifications. We document measurements, show you before-and-after photos on request, and explain the long-term savings of correct repairs versus temporary fixes. Check our current service specials and schedule service with confidence—our advisors can also discuss service financing so you can get the work done now and pay over time.
