• Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor surface to remove minor grooves or warpage—it's cost-effective if thickness remains within specifications.
• Replacement is necessary when rotors are below minimum thickness, heavily scored, or damaged. Herb Chambers Chevrolet uses OEM parts and precise measurements to determine the right option.
• Choosing dealership service delivers long-term value: correct tolerances, warranty protection, and certified technicians. Check service specials or schedule service today.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is engineered for heavy loads, so front and rear rotors serve different roles. Front rotors take the majority of kinetic energy during braking and therefore experience higher heat cycles and wear; rear rotors manage stability and assist stopping, but on a heavy-duty truck they also experience significant load when towing. This imbalance is why front rotors commonly require service sooner than rear rotors. At Herb Chambers Chevrolet in MA, our technicians assess both front and rear systems, measuring thickness, runout, and pad condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, most cost-effective option. We explain the trade-offs—resurfacing can save money up front if the rotor meets specs, while replacement prevents repeat services and restores OEM tolerances. Our dealership uses OEM parts and manufacturer-approved procedures to maintain braking performance and extend component life. For transparent estimates, warranty-covered service, and financing options to get repairs done now and pay later, schedule service with Herb Chambers Chevrolet and ask about current service specials.
