Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2013 Chevrolet Express serve different loads and therefore have different wear patterns.

At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet we explain these differences and recommend targeted repairs that prioritize safety and value. Our technicians measure rotor thickness, inspect for runout and heat spotting, and advise whether resurfacing or replacement is appropriate. We honor OEM specifications and back repairs with warranty coverage—remember warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Take advantage of our transparent pricing, available service specials, and convenient online scheduling to keep brakes performing at peak levels: schedule appointment and let our certified team protect your stopping power.
