2012 Chevrolet Equinox Brake Pads and Rotors

The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox benefits from a coordinated approach to brake service: replacing pads and rotors together often produces better stopping performance and longer overall life than installing new pads on worn rotors. At Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues we inspect both components and only recommend the work that will deliver the greatest safety and value for your Equinox. Our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and scoring, and evaluate caliper operation. If resurfacing is an option, we follow OEM guidelines; if replacement is required we use GM-approved rotors and pads to maintain proper friction characteristics and heat dissipation. Selecting matched parts reduces brake noise, vibration, and uneven pad wear—translating to smoother stops and fewer trips back to the shop. To arrange an inspection and see current savings, schedule service and review our service specials.
