There is no more important safety system on your Kia vehicle than the braking system. Under normal operating conditions, your brakes endure massive amounts of heat, friction, and pressure. Even at low speeds, driving around town, the physical demand on your brakes is enormous. That’s why the Kia brake services in Ypsilanti are specially designed to ensure that your vehicle gets what it needs to stop safely and reliably in weather and driving conditions all year long.
Regular inspection is a critical part of maintaining the function and integrity of your braking system. Through normal use, the braking system can develop faults and weak points that could result in a catastrophic failure. The best defense against this hazard is routine brake system inspections. Our certified technicians will ensure that your brake system has the structural integrity, power, and functionality it needs to do its job.
Your front & rear brake pads are made from advanced materials that are exceedingly durable and absorb massive amounts of pressure all while protecting your brake rotor from the powerful, hardened steel brake piston. Over time, under normal use, they will naturally break down. When gone too long without being replaced, the brake pads will begin to wear down, allowing the brake piston to bite into the rotor. When this happens, you will hear the telltale sound, and rapidly begin to wear down your rotors. Regular brake pad replacement prevents this process from happening.
While your brake fluid system is heavily fortified and sealed, the failure of your brake fluid can cause catastrophic brake failure. That’s why regular brake fluid inspections are necessary. If needed, your technician will exchange your old brake fluid for new brake fluid.
If by chance, you have gone too long without replacing your brake pads, your brake discs- or rotors may be damaged. This damage can be remedied by resurfacing the face of the rotors. This is done by grinding them down so that they are flat again. If the damage has gone too far, your rotors will need to be replaced.
