Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2021 Chevrolet Suburban?

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban uses heavier-duty front rotors because the front axle handles most braking force; the rear rotors assist in balance and parking. Front rotors commonly wear faster due to weight transfer under braking and higher thermal stress—especially when towing or hauling. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM, our technicians inspect both front and rear rotors to determine whether resurfacing or replacement provides the safest and most cost-effective outcome. We focus on OEM rotor dimensions, correct torque sequencing, and brake fluid condition to ensure consistent pedal feel and longer component life. If you tow with your Suburban, the added brake load accelerates wear; our service advisors will document wear patterns, explain immediate repair needs, and identify long-term benefits of dealer maintenance. We offer transparent estimates, warranty-backed parts, and service financing so you can get the work done now and pay later.
