Brake pads press against the rotor to slow the car—worn pads increase stopping distances and can score the rotors if left too long. Most manufacturers recommend replacement when pad thickness falls below 3 mm. KIA Rio Hatchback brake pad replacement typically costs $220–$380 including parts and labour.
What affects the price
- Front vs rear axle (front pads wear two to three times faster)
- OEM vs performance compound (ceramic, semi-metallic)
- Whether the rotors also need resurfacing or replacing at the same time
