Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2010 Kia Soul?

• At Courtesy Kia of Brandon we inspect both components and recommend the most cost-effective solution without sacrificing safety or longevity.
• Choosing OEM pads and rotors with professional installation reduces vibration, improves stopping distance, and prevents premature wear, delivering immediate and long-term savings.

• Choosing replacement at the right time reduces the chance of further component damage and results in lower lifetime cost and better braking performance.
• We support repairs with factory training, OEM parts, and service financing; check current offers on our service specials and schedule service online.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (or turning) removes minor surface imperfections and restores a smooth contact surface when the rotor thickness is still within OEM tolerances.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, warped beyond correction, or have structural damage — new rotors restore correct thickness and balance.
• At Courtesy Kia of Brandon we use precise measurement tools and OEM specifications to recommend the safest, most cost-effective option and explain how each choice impacts future maintenance costs.
• Because warranty work must be done at a certified dealership, always consult trained technicians; you can also review current offers on our service specials and schedule service online.
