  • Replace when thickness is below manufacturer spec, when run-out exceeds tolerances, or when resurfacing won't restore smoothness; our technicians measure precisely and recommend the best path.
  • We explain immediate and long-term savings of timely replacement and offer transparent quotes plus the option to use service specials or service financing.

  • Our team will recommend the most cost-effective option—resurfacing can save money short-term, while replacement with OEM parts adds longevity and predictable performance; inquire about financing and service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on your 2020 Chevrolet Malibu serve distinct roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat during deceleration, while rear rotors balance stability and emergency stopping. Because the front end does more of the heavy lifting, front rotors commonly wear faster, develop more heat spots, and can show signs of warping earlier than rear rotors. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, run-out, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the best value for your vehicle. We prioritize OEM-spec rotors and precision machining when resurfacing to restore smooth, predictable braking. Take advantage of our transparent estimates, available service specials, and service financing so you can get repairs now and pay later. To protect your safety and prolong component life, schedule service with our factory-trained team and enjoy the convenience of online booking and fast turnaround.
