Brake Test and Replacement in Lincoln, NE

As you travel through Lincoln, NE, the brakes on your Kia Telluride, Seltos, or K5 will eventually wear down. When this occurs, stop by our Service Department at Lincoln Kia for a swift test and replacement service. In the meantime, read this article, which details what we have to offer.

The Brake Test

Testing the brakes in your Kia model is a quick process at our location. This involves pulling into our Service Center after your drive along Highway 77. When you arrive, our mechanics will carefully remove the tires and begin the inspection. One of the first checks that we perform is to see if the brake fluid is at a healthy level. Next, we will ensure that all of the hydraulic lines are intact and free from leaks or damage. The brake pads and calipers are also examined for any signs of wear and tear. Another component that will be looked at are the rotors. During this time, our inspection will include the pedals and master cylinder.

How Brake Replacement Works

Replacing any parts that are damaged can be done easily when you schedule a service appointment. The most common type of brake repair involves swapping out the brake pads and topping off any fluids. However, if the damage is more extensive, then we can also change the rotors and seal up any leaking connections or lines that may be revealed by our test. Our Service Center uses genuine OEM replacement parts so that your vehicle will be able to retain its peak level of factory-grade performance. Should the pedals or master cylinder become damaged, we can also order replacements for these as well.

Maximizing Brake Lifespan

If you want to maximize the lifespan of your Kia’s brakes, then there are several best practices that you can follow. For starters, avoid aggressive stops near Wilderness Park and other areas, as this will put additional strain on the brakes. Plus, it is worthwhile to schedule routine service with us. By doing so, our certified technicians can catch problems before they arise. Another thing that you should do is to ensure that the brake fluid is topped off regularly. Additionally, be mindful when using the brakes and try not to ride them too aggressively. If you regularly tow large loads, then the added weight will put a higher level of strain onto the mechanism when you attempt to slow down. Should you have any further questions about how to increase the lifespan of the brakes, our service team members are here to answer them.
