Brake Maintenance System Types

Your Kia delivers an incredible driving experience every day and keeps you safe on the road when you keep up with its maintenance. However, neglecting to maintain important aspects of your vehicle can lead to dangerous situations on the road, especially if your brakes are not performing as you would expect. Here’s a breakdown of what type of maintenance a brake system needs:

Routine Brake Fluid Change/Flush
Regular Brake Pad & Rotor Inspection, Cleaning, & Replacement
Brake Caliper Pin Regrease
Brake Line & Fittings Inspection For Leaks or Rust

How Often to Maintain Your Brake System

As part of routine vehicle maintenance, it’s essential to have your brakes inspected regularly. A convenient time to do this is during your scheduled oil changes, when you can also have the rotors cleaned and the caliper pins regreased to keep everything operating smoothly. In addition to ongoing maintenance, you will need to replace wear-and-tear components, such as brake pads and rotors, as they age. Staying on top of these services helps ensure reliable braking performance, especially crucial if you are preparing for a long road trip or planning to tow a trailer with your Kia.

Brake System Service FAQs

How often should I flush my car’s brake fluid?

Brake fluid should be flushed every two years or 20,000 kilometres, but, most importantly, it should be changed when it shows signs of contamination.

How long do brake pads last on a sedan?

Driving conditions and driving habits can affect how long brake pads last, but in normal conditions, you can expect brake pads to last around 40,000 to 100,000 kilometres.

Does an SUV need brake pad replacement more often than a sedan?

Yes, typically heavier SUV models will wear through brake pads than sedans as they weigh more and require greater braking power to stop.

What does a full brake service include?

A full brake service includes replacing brake rotors and pads, and relubricating the brake caliper pins.

Do brake rotors need to be replaced whenever new pads are installed?

No, if your brake rotors are still in good condition, then new brake pads should be sufficient. However, under normal circumstances, you will replace the brake rotors every second brake pad replacement.
