Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox relies on both front and rear rotors that share work but age differently. Front rotors typically handle more braking load because weight shifts forward during stops, so they commonly wear faster than rears. Rear rotors often assist with stability and parking functions and may last longer under normal driving. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, our technicians measure rotor thickness, inspect runout, and check pad contact at every service visit to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is necessary. We explain the difference between front and rear needs, show measured specs, and provide a transparent estimate. Using OEM rotors and proper torque procedures reduces vibration, extends pad life, and prevents uneven wear that can lead to costly repairs later. Take advantage of our competitive pricing, available service specials, and ask about service financing so you can get the work done now and pay over time. To protect performance and safety, schedule appointment online or call the service team for a quick inspection and personalized recommendation.
