Brake replacement times vary: new brake pads for a 2016 Kia Soul EV commonly take one to two hours per axle, while rotor replacement can require two to three hours due to removal, fitment, and testing. At Courtesy Kia of Brandon we prioritize precision and efficiency—our technicians are factory-trained and equipped with OEM tools, which helps us complete complex jobs faster and more reliably than many independent shops. We begin with a thorough inspection to determine if pads, rotors, calipers, or sensors require replacement.

Choosing dealer service offers immediate value—precision repairs done right the first time—and long-term savings through fewer repeat services and better resale condition. We document the work and can schedule future inspections to maintain optimal performance for your 2016 Kia Soul EV.
