Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2014 Kia Sorento relies on both front and rear rotors to manage braking force, but the front rotors usually bear the brunt of stopping work because braking weight naturally shifts forward. Front rotors commonly wear faster, especially in stop-and-go traffic or towing situations, making periodic inspection essential. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington in Burlington, MA, our technicians evaluate both axles to determine whether resurfacing can extend rotor life or a full replacement is required. We use OEM rotors and factory-approved procedures to ensure consistent pedal feel and braking balance across the vehicle. Choosing dealer service delivers immediate savings through accurate diagnosis and long-term savings by preventing uneven wear, warped rotors, or premature pad replacement.
