What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing can be a cost-effective short-term fix, but replacement is recommended if rotors are below minimum thickness or have deep grooves, cracks, or heat damage.
  • Herb Chambers Chevrolet evaluates safety, longevity, and cost, recommending the option that yields the best long-term value while protecting braking performance and warranty status.
  • We accept service financing and post clear estimates; schedule appointment to inspect your 2013 Chevrolet Express and learn about applicable service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2013 Chevrolet Express, front and rear rotors play distinct roles. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat dissipation, so they typically see heavier wear especially on frequent stop-and-go driving or when towing heavy loads. Rear rotors share the load and also work in concert with parking brake systems, but they often last longer unless the vehicle is used primarily for heavy cargo duty. At Herb Chambers Chevrolet in MA, our technicians inspect both front and rear assemblies to determine whether resurfacing or complete replacement is safest and most cost-effective. We use OEM rotors and parts so braking balance and ABS performance remain factory-accurate. If resurfacing is possible, we explain the trade-offs between short-term savings and long-term durability, and if replacement is needed we outline the warranty, labor, and parts details. Take advantage of our transparent estimates, ask about service financing, and schedule service to keep your Express braking system working reliably. You can also review current service specials that may reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
