Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors helps you make better maintenance decisions for your 2014 Kia Rio. Front rotors typically handle a greater portion of braking force and therefore wear faster; they dissipate more heat and are subject to heavier load transfer during stopping. Rear rotors (or drums on some cars) usually experience lighter loads but still require inspection because uneven wear front-to-rear can create handling issues and premature pad wear. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington in Burlington, MA, our technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and check runout to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest and most economical option. We use OEM rotors and factory procedures to ensure balanced braking and predictable pedal feel. Check our service specials for seasonal offers.
