2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on your 2017 Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid is frequently the smartest investment in stopping power and long-term value. When worn pads are paired with old, warped, or scored rotors, the new pads can bed improperly, leading to vibration, uneven wear, and noisy braking — all of which shorten the life of your new components and can increase long-term repair costs. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington our technicians perform a thorough inspection and recommend whether resurfacing or replacing rotors is the best solution, using OEM parts engineered for the Optima Plug-In Hybrid’s specific braking system. We balance upfront cost against durability: in many cases, replacing both pads and rotors at once reduces total labor and saves you money compared with doing pads now and rotors later. You’ll also benefit from our documented service history—helpful for resale value—and the peace of mind that warranty-covered work remains intact.
