Taking Care of the Number One Safety Item: Your Brakes

Your Kia comes equipped with the latest driver-assistive features, like Blind-Spot Monitoring, Lane-Keep Assist, and Forward Emergency Braking. These features enhance the basic safety components that begin with the chassis and the brakes. Unfortunately, brakes don’t last forever, so you’ll eventually have to replace your vehicle’s brake pads. Later, you’ll need new brake rotors, and brake calipers, and eventually, you’ll need the brake lines and fluid checked.

How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

The lifespan of your brake pads is based on how you drive. The range is between 25,000 and 70,000 miles. Fortunately, your brakes will give you clear signs when it’s time to replace them. You’ll notice a squeal or grind when you press your brake pedal. You might also notice a pulsing sensation when you try to stop.

If you suspect that it’s time to replace your brake pads, it’s a good idea to bring your Kia to the Lupient Kia service center. Our technicians will inspect your brake pads and rotors. They can also check the brake assembly and master cylinder to determine what is happening with your brake system. After the inspection, your service advisor will share the results.

How Often Should You Get Brake Pads Replaced?

Waiting to replace your brake pads can cause more damage. When you notice the signs that your brake pads are wearing out, it’s important to take care of them as quickly as possible. Each time you apply the brakes, the friction material wears. Eventually, the pad wears out, and your brakes will not stop your vehicle.

The service team at Lupient Kia of Brooklyn Park knows the best type of brake pads for your Kia. We offer convenient online service scheduling, so you can arrange your brake service from the convenience of your smartphone or connected device. We also recommend checking our service specials to find money-saving deals on everything from brake pad service and tire rotations to transmission service and windshield wiper replacements.
