Here is instructions to REMOVE brakes.. Reverse procedure to install.

Do one at a time, so as to use the other as a guide for replacement.

Front brakes would cost aprox: $180 or less for rotors+pads for the front. If you do it yourself. Hope this helps!

could be that the brakes are getting jammed. this is possibility that the rear brake cylinder is jammed due to rust, the brake shoe alignment is out of sync.kindly remove the rear assembly and check for these indicators.

I would suggest that you take it to another shop and have the system checked by a technician.A good pad to install is wagner thermo quiet brake pads and have them check the thickness of the rotors also.A good technician will check your complete braking system to make sure there are no faulty parts.

The Kia Rios (assuming yours is equipped with rear disc brakes) utilize a system that incorporates the parking brake into the rear calipers. What this means is there really isn't a way to adjust the brake itself, since it is part of your rear service brake. If you really wanted to you could adjust the cable at the parking brake lever. This would more than likely require removing your center console to get to it. The problem is if you over adjust, you will cause constant contact between the rear pads and the disc, causing premature padwear. You really shouldn't ever need to adjust the parking brake, but if your really wanted to, that would be how to do it.
