Brake pads and Rotors?

Are you doing the work yourself or bringing the parts to a mechanic????

FWIW; if your bringing the car to a mechanic; let them handle the parts - so they can warranty the work. If you bring them bad parts and the brakes start squealing or the rotors warp - your paying them to do the job again. It wasn't their parts that failed......

 

That's nice - still doesn't make the mechanic that does the job responsible for your bad parts......... Cheap parts are cheap for a reason. It's a gamble. That's why people buy name brand stuff, instead of no-name knock-offs. A mechanic will sell you parts that won't fail on them, so they don't have to do the job again for free.

 

You were crowdsourcing "what are good aftermarket auto parts"; this tells me you don't know. I've had mixed result with Bosh parts, in the past and I wouldn't call it top tier. That was when they were made in Germany; now most of it is made in China. I haven't worked in my dad's shop in 30 years; so have no idea if quality has gone up or down - but I can do the work myself, so it just screws up may weekend plans. I can tell you that if a part fails withing warranty; we would never use that brand of part again. Bosh was one of those, when they were manufactured in Germany. But you can believe whatever you want - it's a free country.
Most people don't see it that way and blame the mechanic for a bad job. I used to work in my dad's shop and people would do that all the time - claiming it was installed improperly; but somehow got more than 12K miles down the road. They would never win in small claims court, but it was a hassle to show up; because we make the initial on the work-order it was their parts and we were ONLY responsible for labor. We would actually refuse jobs like that, if we're busy - too much potential hassles.

I'm not blaming you in any way, shape or form; just making you aware the warranty risks your taking on.

Peace......
