Reviews of Bosch parts For Business

i feel like i've tried them all (not PIAA), and i swear by bosch icons

I’ve been buying Bosch blades for years and find them to be the best quality- still replacing them every year or two though

I went with the Bosch Icons and am extremely happy with the purchase thus far, and I'm very eager to test them out on the coming Michigan winter as well!

I'm very happy with Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors.

I have Bosch Icon wipers on the car. Current set is going on they're third winter and still work perfectly.

Bosch makes (made) excellent rebuilt alternators and I’d check them out.

I bought a Bosch alternator at O’Reilly’s for ~ $300 and the gaskets at Autozone for ~ $100 (you can get them cheaper but I needed them quickly)

Bosch pads are fine. Trouble is when you buy from Amazon you don't know if you're getting Bosch or counterfeit Bosch and there's a real risk of counterfeits from Amazon.

For my (owned 3 years, purchased used) 2014 Honda Crosstour I've always had to grind down the edges of the pad mounting plate tabs on Bosch brakes a couple of mm to get it to fit into the calipers. I have just received a new set, and while I still had to grind down the edges to get them to slide into the calipers, the top and bottom edges were MUCH shorter than the previous pads. So much so that when braking after reversing direction, the pads will shift in the calipers with a noticeable 'click' as the brake pads engage the disks to slow the car and are thus moved to the other end of the caliper. The overlap between the brake pad plate and the 'C' in the caliper where the tab meets the caliper is only 2mm or so. Definitely less than I am comfortable with.

Symptoms: Flickering lights, and occasional hiccup start. Now battery light is coming on and staying on. When stationary battery tests around 12.5 volts. When running, that drops to 11.7 volts.
