Squealing wear indicators, a brake warning light, and grinding are clear signs your brakes need service.

You may also notice longer stopping distances, pedal pulsation, or the vehicle pulling when braking. If any of these appear, our Burlington team can road test your car and measure pads and rotors against Kia specifications. Early checks help protect rotors and reduce total cost.

Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2017 Kia Optima-Plug-In-Hybrid?

  • Rotor thickness checked vs. spec
  • Pads-only if rotors pass
  • Both if rotors worn or scored
