Brakes are a Vital Part of Your Vehicle's Maintenance
 |
A car stops right in front of you... or a ball rolls into the street, followed by the kid who kicked it there. The fact is, you never know exactly when you need to use your brakes, but its nice to know they're there when you do.
Brakes are sometimes an overlooked item when it comes to car maintenance. We remember the oil changes and the windshield wash, even the 15K service, but who ever looks at the brake pads? Sometimes, by the time we notice something is wrong, it's far too late! |
Kia of Saco offers quality brake repair by technicians that know your car best, and we only use Genuine Kia Parts, so you know they fit right the first time, and meet the same engineering standards as the one they're replacing.
Brake services typically involve the replacement of worn brake pads and shoes, resurfacing brake rotors or drums, and replacing brake fluid as needed. But, your Kia's brake system also includes components like a master cylinder, power brake booster, and electronic anti-lock brake sensors. It's important to have your brakes checked at least once a year to keep them responsive and avoid costly replacements. The technicians at Kia of Saco know every part of your car inside and out, and when new systems are introduced by the factory, they're trained in it right away.
Remember, regular brake inspections should be part of your vehicle's ongoing maintenance, helping to ensure it's safety and reliability. In fact, we recommend that you have them checked at least once a year or if you experience any of the following:
Hard brake pedal
Low or "spongy" brake pedal
Brake warning light that stays on
Squealing or grinding (especially under braking)
Any time you notice these symptoms (or any others), it's a good idea to have your brakes checked. If you need your Kia brakes serviced in Southern Maine, click here to schedule a service appointment online, or call (207) 284-9190 to speak with a service advisor.
