We use OEM rotors where appropriate and offer remanufactured options for value-focused owners.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front rotors on the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV typically handle more braking load and will often wear faster than rear rotors; however, EV regenerative braking shifts some load rearward depending on settings and driving style. Front rotors commonly show heat-related wear and may need replacement sooner, while rear rotors can exhibit uneven wear if calipers or parking brake components stick. Herb Chambers Chevrolet technicians perform complete axle-by-axle inspections and recommend either resurfacing or replacement based on measurements and safety limits. Our service includes proper torqueing, bedding procedures, and a final road test to confirm performance. Take advantage of dealership trust factors—OEM parts, certified techs, and warranty coverage—plus available service specials. Ready to protect stopping power?
