It’s important to know the signs that indicate your Kia vehicle needs brake maintenance and brake pad replacement. If you need to brake harder to stop than usual, or if your usual braking pattern doesn’t slow you down as quickly as it used to, this is a significant indicator that you must get your brakes checked. If you hear a clicking or rattling sound when you brake, this indicates that the pads on your brakes are wearing out or loosening and should be checked by Kia technicians at Russ Darrow. If your brake pedal feels squishy, it is a sign that your brakes need to be checked as soon as possible. When worn down, the resin adhesive that holds the pads in place heats up and spreads around the disc, which causes the pedal to loosen and shake. When your car pulls to the left or right when braking, it’s due to the thinness of the pad on one side. When you bring your vehicle in for routine maintenance like oil changes, tire rotations, etc, ask the technicians to check your brakes and brake pads.  For years, our factory-trained Kia service technicians have been committed to keeping your vehicle safe and reliable, including using genuine Kia brake pads when changing.

Genuine Kia brake pads are engineered and designed specifically for your Kia model. Insist on them when changing your brake pads. These parts are manufactured to exact specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit. This eliminates any potential for installation issues, reduces the risk of premature wear and tear, and ensures the brake pads function as intended within the overall braking system. Your brakes are your last line of defense in an emergency, and you don’t want to have unreliable parts installed, which wear down faster. When replacing Kia vehicle parts, don’t gamble with your safety or the long-term performance of your vehicle. Always insist on genuine Kia brake pads. Although they cost slightly more upfront, the peace of mind, optimal performance, and guaranteed safety are worth the investment.
