WHEN WILL YOU KNOW IT'S TIME FOR BRAKES?

Typically, brake pads wear gradually so, for some, it may be difficult at first to notice a decline in performance. Below are some of the common signs you should look out for, as they can signal that your brake system needs repair/replacement.

HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL:

Many brake pads have a "wear indicator" that emits an audible warning when it's time for replacement.

GRINDING NOISE:

Metal-on-metal noise can be caused by the backing plate grinding against rotors, due to worn brake pads.

BRAKE BAD THICKNESS

Generally, if brake pads are less than 4-5mm thick, they are nearing replacement. If they're less than 2-3mm thick, then they likely need to be replaced.

PULLING:

If your car feels like it "pulls" to one side during braking, this can be caused by brake pads wearing unevenly, dirty brake fluid, a collapsed brake hose, or a stuck caliper.

PEDAL RESPONSIVENESS:

If you feel a vibrating or pulsing sensation through the brake pedal during stopping, this can be caused by unevenly worn rotors.

VIBRATION/PULSATION:

If your brake pedal is not as responsive as it once was, or it feels soft/mushy, this may indicate a problem in the brake fluid system.

Diehl Kia of Hermitage understands there is nothing more important than your safety.

For peace of mind, visit our dealership for a brake inspection by our factory-trained Kia technicians.

WHEN IT'S TIME FOR A NEW BATTERY, CHOOSE A GENUINE KIA BATTERY.



Our batteries meet rigorous specifications for quality, long life and dependability.



Here are some features you can expect with every Kia Genuine Battery:

Genuine Kia batteries meet or exceed Kia's reserve capacity specifications and cold cranking amps specifications.

Positive grid cover can help prevent corrosion.

Special electrolyte additive improves battery charging effectiveness, especially following severe discharge.

All Kia dealerships nationwide can service these batteries, which is especially helpful when you're traveling.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR BATTERY?

Most batteries go for thousands of miles without service. However, everyday driving conditions — such as climate and driving habits — can affect the life of your battery. If you still have your original battery or feel a sluggish start from time to time, it may be a good idea to come in for battery inspection and testing.

FACTORS THAT CAN SHORTEN YOUR BATTERY'S LIFE ARE:

SEVERE TEMPERATURES:

Your battery should be inspected every six months, and in areas of high heat/cold, this becomes even more imperative.

LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON:

Even if your vehicle starts, the battery may have lost a lot of its reserve power.

CORROSION OR LEAKAGE:

This is likely a sign that your battery is not operating at 100%.

NEW TIRES ALSO HELP YOU STOP SOONER ON WET ROADS!



A professional driver took nearly 10 car lengths longer to stop on worn tires than he did on new tires.



While your stopping distance may vary, newer tires can help you stop sooner.

WHEN WILL YOU KNOW IT'S TIME FOR NEW WIPERS?

You'll know it's time to replace your wiper blades when you see these signs of wear:

  • Cracked, split, torn, brittle, worn
  • Chatter, streak, or fail to wipe cleanly

Wiper blades tend to wear evenly, so even if only one blade appears worn, the other isn't far behind. You should replace both wiper blades at the same time.
