Stopping power is one safety factor you never want your car to lose. Every year, neglected brakes play a part in over one-fifth of road accidents in the USA. You can avoid becoming part of this unfortunate statistic with regular brake inspections at your local Kia dealer. Also, always respond promptly to the following warning signs that you need new brakes or brake repair. more Brake Fluid Puddle If you ever see a puddle of yellow or honey-colored fluid under your car, your brake fluid might be leaking. This means your car is unsafe to drive until the leak has been found and fixed. Brake fluid holds hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines, transferring the stopping signal from the master cylinder to each braking mechanism. If a leak causes this hydraulic pressure to fall, your foot on the pedal will no longer be sending proper signals to the brakes. A brake fluid leak might also cause the pedal to feel soft underfoot. Screeching Brake Pads Whenever you apply the brakes, the brake pads clamp against the rotor discs, generating friction to stop your car. The upper friction layer of each brake pad gradually wears down over time. When a brake pad is almost worn out, you'll usually hear a screeching sound, which means it's time for a replacement. When you bring in your car for brake inspections, our technicians can let you know how much farther each pad is likely to last. Pulsating Rotor Discs Rotor discs are sturdy iron cast or ceramic discs that typically last longer than the brake pads. When one of your rotors eventually grows too old and worn out, though, it might become malformed by overheating or scored by a brake pad. When this happens, you may detect pulsating vibrations through the brake pedal or steering wheel. Reduced Stopping Power When brake pads and rotors overheat, it can result in brake fade. This is a sudden loss of friction between the rotor and pad, which reduces stopping power. If you ever experience this, pull over safely and allow your brakes to return to a normal temperature. You may still need to have the brakes inspected by a professional. Book Routine Brake Inspections at Your Kia Dealer Preventative maintenance is the key to maximum road safety. If you have your brakes thoroughly inspected twice a year, our experienced technicians can keep you updated on the condition of each brake component. They can also quickly repair faults or replace worn-out parts. With routine inspections, you're far less likely to experience the unpleasant surprise of brake trouble on the road. Is one of your brake pads or rotors on its last legs? Visit Bill Dodge Kia in Westbrook, ME, today to have your brakes restored to full power and responsiveness.

In addition to supplying you with a top-notch vehicle, your Kia dealership is also a one-stop shop for all your maintenance and repair needs. Whether your car needs a quick oil change and tune-up or has suffered a serious fault, our technicians can have it back on the road running like a dream in no time. Here are some common Kia services to schedule with the trusted technicians at your local dealership. more As the engine is the beating heart of your car, it's vital to keep it healthy with fresh coolant and motor oil. If you neglect to inspect or flush these fluids, your engine can rapidly overheat and break down. Our technicians can also examine, top up, or refresh your car's brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, and differential fluid. Rotate and Replace Tires Tires undergo significant strain and need to be rotated frequently to prevent excessively uneven wear. For the sake of convenience, many drivers have their tires rotated at the same time as their oil changes. While carrying out a rotation, our technicians will check if your tires are misaligned or damaged in any way. These issues can also be fixed. And if the treads of your tires are wearing too shallow, the technician can install new tires to keep your traction and road safety optimized. Inspect and Repair Brakes The brake pads, rotors, and calipers on each of your car's wheels should also be inspected frequently. After raising your car, the technician will remove and examine each part. They'll examine the brake fluid and possibly bleed the brake lines of any trapped air. Check Belts and Hoses Cars depend on a couple of belts, most commonly the timing belt and serpentine belt. These two belts coordinate engine parts and transfer power to other components smoothly while you drive. They need to be kept in tip-top condition with regular inspections. Likewise, the many hoses and fluid lines throughout your car need to be regularly examined for signs of cracking or fraying. Swap Out Air Filters Both your engine and cabin require a steady inflow of air, but dust, insects, pollution, and other contaminants threaten to enter along with the oxygen. The engine and cabin air filters minimize this risk, but both filters gradually dirty and clog up over time and need to be replaced once a year or so.
