Brake Service in Des Moines, IA

Schedule an Appointment with Us Today!

After driving your Kia for a while, you may be wondering if it is that time to make an appointment for your brakes. You can find more information below on when and why you need to have this service completed with us at Kia of Des Moines, located near Townsend Avenue. Also, explore our online tools, designed for you to make your first visit with us.

Importance of Brake Maintenance

First things first - ultimately, it can mean the difference between a possible collision and a safe trip to your destination. When approaching a stoplight or a crosswalk, or any other situation where people are walking, your brakes help you come to a stop as soon as possible. This is because pedestrians need to feel confident that they can cross the street without harm, and drivers should not have to worry about being in an accident. It can even be more dangerous if traveling where large crowds are walking. Moreover, your brakes have a limited lifespan before wearing down and losing its functionality. When this happens, your car can begin to sustain damage. 

When To Get Brakes Checked

The first sign that tells you it is time to visit our Service Department, is when your Kia feels off balance when you drive. If you are still unsure that you have worn out brakes, pay attention to how your steering wheel feels when you arrive at a stop. Does the wheel move around as you press down on the components? It is never a good idea to ignore these signs, and you should schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. One good rule of thumb is to ask us to conduct a check on your brakes every time you come in for an oil change. That way, you are periodically having your car monitored for any malfunctions. Keep in mind that you should never leave your Kia’s brakes unchecked past 60,000 miles of your car’s mileage.

Online Resources

We have our Schedule Appointment form that sets you up with your first visit with ease. First, we ask you about the details of your Kia. Following that, we offer a maintenance package, including our Normal Factory Maintenance and Dealer Recommended Normal package. In both options, we look at your brake fluid, and your car’s brake lines, hoses and connections. As an added bonus, in both packages, come a list of service offers, including an engine filter and oil replacement, air filter inspection, and much more. After choosing your package, we then ask if you can drive to the dealership or if you need our complimentary shuttle service. Lastly, a calendar appears on your computer screen with available times for you to come in and see us to care for your brakes.

At Kia of Des Moines, we are dedicated to providing you with brake service in Des Moines, IA. You can visit us on our contact page, and give us a call for any questions.

Asked me all the details about what I wanted. Also was worried about my credit as far as getting approved. Got me approved in no time and stayed within the guidelines of payments and down payments and got me the truck that I wanted. Great job. Other staff members were very friendly recommended. If you are looking for a vehicle they can definitely get you in something at your down payment price that you want plus your payments every month you’ll walk away happy and satisfied!!

Working with Kim was great. He kept in touch with me for months with updates on the specific vehicle I wanted. I did not give 5 stars because Kia did not give the dealer incentives for the new vehicle. Very easy process and everyone was nice.
