What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front rotors typically take the brunt of braking on most vehicles, including the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV, because the vehicle's weight shifts forward during stops; as a result, front rotors often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors share braking duties and may benefit from regenerative braking in EVs, which can extend their life. When a front rotor fails sooner, it can cause pulling, vibration, and uneven pad wear—issues we address promptly at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet to restore balanced braking. Our service team inspects both front and rear systems and recommends whether resurfacing or full replacement is the safest, most cost-effective choice. We use OEM parts, provide written estimates, and honor warranty requirements that mandate certified-dealership repairs.
