Kia Brake Rotor and Caliper Repair and Replacement
Less frequent but no less important, brake rotors and calipers require occasional replacement. Calipers grip the brake rotor (or disc) in order to slow down the vehicle. The friction created causes wear to the brake rotor - and this process happens every time you step on the brakes! It's easy to see why, over time, wear occurs, and it's time for replacement or resurfacing.
Brake Fluid and Brake Line Services
Brake fluid creates pressure in the braking system - including the brake lines - and is largely responsible for generating enough force to stop your vehicle. It wears and gets dirty with age and multiple heating events, which occur every time you stop. It also lubricates and absorbs water from the air, helping to reduce corrosion on moving parts and lower its boiling point. Whether it's time for a fluid flush or you need to repair a leaky brake line - rare but possible - we're here to help.
When Does My Kia Need Brake Service?
Not sure how to tell when your Kia car, SUV, or MPV needs new brakes? The warning signs are easy to identify. The one most drivers in Merrimack County pick up on is squealing or grinding sounds coming from the brakes, usually when the vehicle is coming to a stop. As a general rule, brakes should be checked every 25,000 to 50,000 miles for wear, but it varies drastically with driving habits and conditions.
Of course, some modern vehicles also have service reminders that will remind you to take your vehicle in at set mileage, time, or wear intervals. Can't remember the last time you had your Kia vehicle's brakes checked? It's probably time!
There are a variety of other, less-noticeable hints that your car is due for brake service. Vibrations while braking or experiencing the vehicle "pulling" to one side or the other when stopping suggest it's time for a brake service. Overly spongy or stiff brake pedal feel is another clue. Naturally, if you see something physically wrong with your calipers or rotors, or have to refill the brake fluid, it's a good idea to bring your car in for a closer look.
