Kia Genuine Brake Service in Yorkton, SK

One of our Top 6 Winter Maintenance tips was proper brake care, as slippery roads are dangerous enough without adding spongy brake pads to the mix. Worn out or inferior brake pads will force your Kia to work harder, meaning it’ll eat through your fuel, cut the lifespan of your engine and tires, and fail to stop in good time while you’re running the roads. Even a few seconds can be the difference between a collision and a safe trip, so it’s especially important to check in with your preferred service centre about maintaining your brake health during the cold months. Keep reading as the experts at Key Yorkton Kia share the top 4 warning signs (noises, spongy brake pedal, vibrations, and visible thinning) that your brake pads need to be replaced, and show off why the quiet, warranty-backed Kia Genuine Brake Pads are the right choice for your vehicle.

4 Signs Your Brake Pads Need to Be Replaced

Unusual noises, brake pad appearance, and the feel of your Kia can tell you a lot about your brake health. To stay one step ahead of brake wear, we advise you to consult your Kia’s owner’s manual to find out how often you should book a service appointment (usually at around 32,000 - 120,000 kms depending on your driving style and usual terrain). By doing so, you’ll preserve the friction generated by your brakes and retain your ability to control your vehicle, especially on icy winter roads where grip is already hard to come by. Though you shouldn’t wait until red flags start popping up, here are 4 important ones our experts suggest you look out for:

  1. Unusual Noises (Screeching, Grinding, Squealing)
  2. Brake Pedal Touches the Floor
  3. Vibrations
  4. Brake Pads Appear Thin
