Car owners should always do their best to maintain their cars so they will last for as long as possible. Kia has created a Kia Maintenance Plan that will help Kia owners keep their cars running for many years to come.

Kia Brake Service is part of routine maintenance and is something that is crucial to keeping your Kia in top condition. A Kia Maintenance Plan is based on the Kia factory-recommended maintenance listed in your Kia Owner’s manual. There are several plans available for 1 to 6 years that include 2 services per year.

What do you need to do? First choose the coverage duration that you feel will fit your needs the most and then relax knowing that your Kia will be taken care of and get the maintenance services it needs.

What are the benefits? Through this plan maintenance is simplified and made easy. It’s efficient and convenient ensuring that your car isn’t broken and if it is, the problem can most likely be fixed. The quality of the plan guarantees that the services are performed by Kia factory-trained technicians. All parts are genuine Kia parts and all plans feature full synthetic oil. The money value will stay the same. Through the plan, the price is locked in place which means you will not pay more for labor or parts if the prices increase during the duration of the plan you purchased. Lastly, with the Kia Maintenance Plan, you won’t have to worry as much about your car breaking down because problems can be caught beforehand.

Not only are Kia Service plans available for gasoline engines, but for electric vehicles too. Because of the specific maintenance requirements which are:

• Battery health monitoring
• Tire rotation
• Tire pressure
• High voltage system coolant replacement
• EV comprehensive multipoint inspection

• 1 year: 2 services
• 2 years: 4 services
• 3 years: 6 services
• 4 years: 8 services
• 5 years: 10 services
• 6 years: 12 services

If you don’t want to pay for a full Kia Maintenance Plan, something else you can do to keep your car healthy is check the breaks every once in a while. Kia recommends that the general rule of thumb is to replace your brake pads after 50,000 miles. At the same time, it greatly depends on the vehicle and the driving habits of the driver as well as the terrain.

Something else to consider is the load the vehicle has to carry. Tow trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles will have a better or similar brake life compared to other vehicles. This is because they are built with the intent of carrying heavy loads. However, if a passenger vehicle were to move heavy loads frequently, then the added weight will cause more wear on the car brakes.

Try to develop good driving habits. Some drivers have their foot over the brakes and press on it more frequently than others.

What are the signs that a Kia Brake Service may be needed? If there is a squeaking or screeching noise, that is a good indicator that it is time to take your Kia in. Aside from the squeaking noise, if the brake pad is less than ¼ inch thick, consider visiting your local Kia Service Center to have the brake pads checked. The sound of metal scraping or grating is also a sign of worn out brakes. This is one of the biggest indicators that the brake pads are down to the last leg of their lifespan. If you don’t take your Kia in soon enough, it can cause extensive damage to your brake system. Our Mission Viejo Brake Service center can help keep you and your vehicle as safe as possible.
