Close Brake Test and Replacement in Houston, TX
Traveling the streets of Houston can be exciting, but it is important to be able to arrive at a safe halt. For that reason, get your brakes tested or replaced here at Archer Kia. Our Service Department staff is excited to work with you.
Warning Signs
Brakes last longer than some other parts of a vehicle, but they will still deteriorate over time. Stopping frequently in traffic can have a negative impact on the components, as can the heat we experience here in Houston. If you are traveling down I-610 and have a hard time slowing down, it’s likely time to visit our dealership for a brake test. Also, listen for a screeching or squealing sound when you reduce your speed. Such a noise often means that the brake pads have worn down to the point where the rotors are touching the calipers, which can lead to more damage down the line. Getting new parts at this point is essential for your safety and for the longevity of your Kia K5, Sportage, or Telluride.
Test
While brake pads tend to last about 30,000 miles, you should check your Owner’s Manual for model-specific suggestions. Furthermore, it is essential that you know the condition of your brakes, so getting a test at least once a year is recommended. When you trust our team members with this task, we will start by removing the wheels to get a better look at the inner workings of the brakes. We’ll measure the depth of each pad to see how much more life it has left. Then, we will examine the rotors and calipers to see if they are damaged at all. Any leaks in the brake fluid lines will also be addressed.
Repairs
In order to ensure that your trips to Woodland Park can be made safely, we’ll let you know which brake pads need to be replaced after we test them. If you want to go ahead with the repairs, you can wait in our lounge or we can give you a call when your maintenance is finished. The rotors tend to last about 70,000 miles, but worn pads can make them degrade more quickly. Regardless of which items need to be replaced, we will source them from our Parts Department, which uses genuine Kia components. You can rely on them for quality, safety, and longevity.
