Its 275k for the EX now from 291k and if you have one of the service flyers that came in with your bank statement then you get 1 year free service or 30k kms

I changed my disc pads on the sportage at 30k (front) & 35k(rear) and that includes hway driving. My 2012 cerato had 35k when I sold it and I never changed disc pads. I think the OEM pads are now are made from a more softer material. I changed pads at 40k on my sportero & I know someone who changed at 18k on another sportero. I know driving style has a lot to do with it but I believe the OEM pads ought to last a bit longer.

After you rotate, you notice the shim on the steering, you end up going back to the shop. Once again they charge to spin balance your four wheels again but really only focus on the wheels that are the front.
It's a bit of a scam IMHO.

Reason for that : facelift model out by year's end.
