• Bring your vehicle to Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley for a thorough check—our certified technicians will explain costs, warranty coverage, and expected life to help you make the best choice; you can schedule appointment now.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and heat cracks, and compare results to manufacturer minimums to determine replacement timing.
• If rotors are below spec or show deep grooves or heat damage, replacement preserves braking performance and prevents further damage to pads and calipers.
• At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley we document findings and recommend the most cost-effective plan; warranty repairs must be done by a certified dealership to stay valid.

How often should you replace your 2024 Subaru Legacy rotors?

• Replacement intervals vary: personal driving style and conditions (mountain driving, towing, heavy traffic) influence wear—some rotors last well over 50,000 miles while others require attention sooner.
• Regular inspections at scheduled service visits catch wear early; our service advisors will show you measurements and explain replacement timelines to help you budget effectively.
• Take advantage of our service specials and ask about service financing so you can address necessary repairs immediately without delay.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing restores a rotor’s surface by removing a thin layer to eliminate scoring or minor warping when the rotor still meets thickness specifications.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, have cracks, or can't be resurfaced safely; new OEM rotors restore design tolerances and braking balance.
• At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley we evaluate rotors against manufacturer specs and recommend resurfacing or replacement with full transparency; repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership, and you can always schedule service online to get started.
