Brake Pad Replacement Service

Brake Pad Replacement Service in St. Louis, MO

The brake pads found in your Kia are designed to provide the right amount of friction in order to stop your car as needed. In order for the brakes to work properly, brake pads with enough steel to capture the stop should be used. The more your brakes are used, however, the more the padding wears down, requiring a replacement over time.

Replacing Your Brake Pads

During a brake pad replacement service, certified technicians remove the old brake pads and replace them with quality Kia pads to fit your model. While replacing the brake pad, they will also inspect the brake rotors and determine if there is any significant damage. Expect the different components of your Kia’s brake system to be lubricated before completing the service. SCHEDULE SERVICE SERVICE SPECIALS

When to Replace Your Brake Pads

Maintaining quality brake pads is essential for your safety, as your brakes need a padded place to land when you press them and allow them to stop the Kia properly. If you begin hearing or noticing any of the following signs, it is time to change your brake pads:

A squeal-like noise
Vehicle vibration
Brake system warning lights

In addition to the above signs, you also can determine how many miles are currently on your brake pads. If it has been over 10,000 miles since the pads have been inspected, it is time to visit your service department.

Risks of Driving With Old Brake Pads

If you choose not to have your brake pads replaced when signs of wearing begin, you will continue to hear the squealing and vibrations that come with worn brake pads. Also, you may notice it becoming more difficult to stop, and your brakes taking longer to slow the vehicle. This can be a safety issue where you cause an accident because you were unable to stop in time.
