What Brake Pad Replacement Service Does
We remove all four wheels and give your brakes a full inspection. We check the front brake pads and rear brake pads and replace them on both sides of the same axle when they are near their service limit. We also check the brake rotors for damage. If they are warped or scraped up from bad brake pads, we either turn the rotors or replace them. We also replace any worn brake calipers with new ones to ensure your new brake pads get firm footing when you use the brakes. We finish the job by replacing and bleeding the brake fluid.
Why Your Brake Pads Require Service
Brake pads are designed to lose just a little bit of material every time you apply the brakes. Most pads have ceramic, carbon, metallic, or semi-metallic material that creates friction on the brake rotors. That friction makes your Kia slow down and stop while keeping it under total control. The rotors are made from hardened steel, which stays in good condition so long as the brake pads have good material for stopping power. When the padding gets worn down too far, the metal backing plate will scrape up the rotors, make loud, scary noises, and damage your brakes. Timely brake pad replacement stops that.
