Compare Kia brake repair quotes from specialist garages

Kia was founded initially as a bicycle manufacturer in 1944 - a humble beginning for what is now one of the world's largest car makers. At the 2023 Autocar Awards, Kia was named 'Best Manufacturer', a prestigious accolade bestowed by one of the leading automotive publications. It also earned 'Car Brand of the Year' at the 2022 Which? Awards and 'Manufacturer of the Year' at the 2022 Top Gear Awards.

Like many car brands, Kia has forged some connections in Hollywood, partnering with Twentieth Century Fox in 2016 to create the Sorento X-Car, inspired by Wolverine, to promote the film X Men: Days of Future Past.

Your car's brake system is complex, consisting of pads, discs, callipers, brake fluid, ABS, rotors, a master cylinder, brake lines, backing plates and a handbrake. Many of these components wear down until you eventually must replace them.

Brake pads usually last between 20,000 and 60,000 miles, while brake discs last roughly 50,000 miles. Frequent harsh braking can considerably reduce the life of your car's brake system.

It can be challenging to tell what kind of car brake replacement or repair you need. An ABS fault, for example, will be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard. Alternatively, you might need to book a brake line repair if you notice your car pulling to one side.
