Brake services are one way to keep your Kia Optima safe. When you have these services performed routinely, you will have peace of mind. Part of keeping your brake system working properly includes having the brake fluid drained and refilled with fresh fluid. It is also important to replace the brake pads routinely and replace or resurface their grip. But what exactly do these services entail? Keep reading to find out.
Your brake system will stop working if the fluid isn’t changed regularly. For every 30,000 miles you drive, a change in brake fluid is needed. Of all the things that could cause a car accident, one common occurrence is not exchanging your old brake fluid for fresh. There are certain ways that you can tell if your brake fluid is in need of changing, aside from the number of miles you have driven. One of them is when the ABS light is on. This can happen even if your Kia Optima is new and has less than 30,000 miles on it.
Another indication that more fluid is needed is if you hear a strange noise when stopping your car. This may come in the form of squeaks, squeals, or grinding sounds. You should also be mindful of any strange odors, as this can also indicate a problem. Braking repeatedly can lead to the strong scent of chemicals. It generally means that your breaks or your clutch have become too hot. Ideally, the fluid should be changed before this becomes a problem.
Since brake pads are crucial in getting your Kia Optima to stop, it is especially important to keep them in good condition. Our brake services include installing new pads when yours become worn down. Older pads lose their grip and become ineffective over time. This tends to happen for every 10,000 miles you drive.
If you fail to get your brakes service when needed, you are putting yourself at risk of having an accident. To prevent this, you can rely on Carriage Kia of Woodstock to keep them in excellent condition. Our certified technicians use their expertise to ensure your brakes are safe to use.
