- Comprehensive inspection: Visual and measured checks of pads, rotors, calipers, lines, hoses, and brake fluid condition to detect wear or leaks.
- Pad and rotor service: Replacement or resurfacing of pads and rotors as needed, plus lubrication of slides, hardware replacement if required, and proper torquing of fasteners.
- Brake fluid: Testing and replacement or flushing of brake fluid when contaminated or per maintenance schedule; fluid service improves performance and longevity.
- OEM parts and expertise: We use OEM parts and factory diagnostic procedures so systems like ABS and stability control continue to operate as designed.

2026 Kia Sportage Brake Warranty
Many modern vehicles, including the 2026 Kia Sportage, have limited warranties that cover defects in materials or workmanship for a defined period. While wear items such as brake pads are typically considered maintenance and not covered under basic warranty, certain brake components or part failures resulting from manufacturing defects may be covered under Kia's limited component warranties. If your vehicle is still within any applicable warranty period, it is essential that any repairs or replacements covered under warranty be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage. Our Nalley Kia service team documents the repair process, uses OEM parts, and submits warranty claims on your behalf when eligible. Choosing Nalley Kia for warranty or covered-service work ensures the repair is performed by factory-trained technicians using correct parts and procedures, avoiding potential denials or voided coverage that can occur if unauthorized shops perform the service. Contact our service department for a warranty eligibility check and to schedule covered inspections or repairs at Nalley Kia.
2026 Kia Sportage Brake Pads and Rotors
Replacing brake pads without addressing rotor condition often results in uneven wear, noise, and reduced stopping efficiency. For the 2026 Kia Sportage, synchronizing pad and rotor service delivers the best balance of performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. When pads are replaced at the same time as rotors, heat transfer is consistent across braking surfaces, bedding-in is optimized, and the risk of premature pad glazing or rotor scoring is minimized. At Nalley Kia, our technicians measure rotor thickness and runout, inspect for heat spots, corrosion, and scoring, and advise whether resurfacing or replacement is the right choice for your vehicle. We explain the trade-offs: resurfacing can save upfront cost when rotors are within specification, while replacement eliminates variables and typically extends service intervals. Using OEM parts and recommended procedures ensures that pad compound and rotor surfaces are matched for the 2026 Kia Sportage’s braking characteristics. This dealer approach reduces the chance of repeat visits and saves you money long-term by maximizing component life and braking reliability.
