How often should you replace your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Replacement is needed when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or warped beyond specification. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet we measure precisely and recommend the safest, most cost-effective choice.
  • Dealing with the dealership often saves money over time because correct specifications and OEM parts reduce the chance of repeat work. You can schedule service online to get an accurate assessment.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front rotors on a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD typically handle a greater share of braking force and therefore often wear faster than rear rotors. Front braking absorbs most kinetic energy, especially during heavy stops and towing, so fronts are more likely to show heat-related wear, scoring, or warping. Rear rotors still play a critical role in balance and stability; a worn rear rotor can cause uneven pad wear and reduce emergency-handling stability. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM, our technicians inspect both axles and explain differences in condition, recommending resurfacing when dimensions permit or OEM replacement when necessary. We honor transparent pricing and explain the costs avoided by timely service — like damage to calipers, uneven pad wear, and ABS faults. We run through available promotions and loyalty benefits, and we encourage drivers to take advantage of current service specials to reduce immediate expense. When you're ready, schedule service online for a thorough inspection and a clear plan to restore safe braking on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.
