Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu front and rear rotors serve distinct roles: front rotors handle most of the braking force and typically wear faster, while rear rotors support stability and parking brake functions. Front rotors are subject to higher heat and friction during stops, so they often require resurfacing or replacement sooner than rear rotors. At Herb Chambers Chevrolet in MA our certified technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness to manufacturer specs, and explain the condition in plain language. We use OEM replacement rotors and precision calibration during installation to restore braking performance, reduce pedal pulsation, and maintain ABS and traction control accuracy. Choosing dealership service delivers added value: warranty protection, factory-trained techs, genuine parts, and service financing if you need to pay over time. We also promote preventive checks and will alert you to rotor trends—this helps avoid costly damage like warped rotors or uneven pad wear that can lead to more expensive repairs. To keep your Malibu safe and responsive, schedule service or review current service specials before you visit.
