Brake Test and Replacement in Gilbert, AZ
Regardless of the type of Kia that you drive, its brakes will eventually need service. Visit Horne Kia To get an in-person consultation from our team members, and read on for additional details about our maintenance process.
Warning Signs
Before we explore what it means to get a brake test, it's important that you're on the lookout for common warning signs. An inability to stop on Highway 60 is a major red flag that something is amiss. If you experience longer halting times, reach out to us or visit our location soon. You can also listen for a screeching or squealing noise when you bring your Kia K5, Sportage, or Seltos to a standstill. This usually means that the brake pads are severely worn down and could fail at any minute. Even if you don’t experience these signs, you should get a new set of brake pads within the timeframe outlined in your car’s Owner’s Manual.
Test
In order to avoid damage while you drive to Freestone District Park with your family, we highly recommend getting a brake test at least once a year. This will allow our Service Department staff to determine how much life is left in your car’s brakes. We’ll begin our inspection by lifting the vehicle up and removing the wheels. That way, we will be able to see the pads, rotors, and calipers more easily. The first of these components is usually the first to deteriorate, as they are made of a softer material to reduce heat. If there are no brake fluid leaks or excessive damage to any parts, we can give you an estimate of when you should visit next.
Replacement
As previously mentioned, brake pads are the parts most commonly needed when a car is having difficulty stopping. Getting a new set every 30,000 miles is recommended, but this can vary, especially if you drive in densely populated areas with high-traffic roads. Rotors often last much longer, though they can suffer additional damage if your brake pads are in poor shape. If your car needs new components, we will source them from our well-stocked Parts Department. Since we have genuine Kia items at our dealership, you can trust in the integrity of your vehicle for the next several years. The process won’t take very long, but it’s best to set up an appointment online to fit us into your schedule.
What Parts Make Up a Car's Brakes?

“ I've been in and out of there quite a few times being very indecisive of what vehicle I wanted to get. Aaron, my salesman, was awesome through the whole process. He really listened to what I wanted to do and helped me get a really great deal. This is the best car buying experience I have ever had. Highly recommend Aaron and the team at Horne Kia! ”

I just bought a used Ford Bronco
“ I just bought a used Ford Bronco from Horne Kia and had a great experience. My sales rep Jacob was very friendly and knowledgeable; a pleasure to deal with. After looking at the CARFAX, I see that in prepping this vehicle for sale, they replaced all 4 tires, changed the oil and installed a new air filter and cabin air filter. They surely could have squeezed out more profit by not doing any of this work, so I’m so appreciative of them doing so. And I even drove away with a full tank of gas. Thank you Jacob and Horne Kia ”

I highly recommend anyone looking for KIA to stop in and ask for DAMIAN! He knows his stuff!
“ We just purchased a KIA EV6 WIND from Damian Wisdom at HORNE KIA. We are his first EV Sale! He made this purchase easy and smooth! He was able to answer all our questions! Looked them up if unsure. I wanted white…he looked in his inventory and came out and said “let’s go check out your UNICORN!” EV’s are hard to get and usually a waiting list…I feel lucky to have stopped in here and actually get what I was looking for! Way to go Damian! I wish you the BEST in all your future sales and I highly recommend anyone looking for KIA to stop in and ask for DAMIAN! He knows his stuff! ”
Overall, we had a Good experience.
“ Found the perfect vehicle at Horne Kia. We came to look for a Kia Sorento in wolf gray. The dealership had it and was inside the show room. Looked classy, modern, and sporty. The color took the vehicle to another level. Pleased with the sales rep Ali, the manager Ray, financing with Tom. They were very patient with us as we were undecided to many times. Tom was easy to work with and smooth signing at the financing. No hassle or pressure from these guys. Went home with my beautiful vehicle. Overall, we had a Good experience. ”
