• Resurfacing (turning) smooths minor imperfections and restores a flat braking surface if the rotor remains above minimum thickness; replacement is required when damage or wear exceeds limits.
• At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet, we evaluate safety, cost, and longevity to recommend resurfacing or replacement with OEM rotors, backed by warranty and performed by certified technicians.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe serve complementary roles: front rotors handle most of the stopping force and heat because braking transfers weight forward, while rear rotors assist with stability and parking. Because front rotors do the bulk of work, they typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM, our technicians measure both front and rear rotor thickness, check for warping, and recommend the correct solution—resurfacing when possible or replacement with OEM rotors when needed. We explain the cost implications of delaying service: warped front rotors can cause uneven pad wear, reduced stopping distance, and vibration that stresses suspension components. Choosing our dealership means you get factory-trained technicians, genuine OEM parts, and transparent pricing. We highlight any applicable service specials and offer service financing so you can maintain safety now and pay over time.
