Brake pads Bosch or OEM Toyota

Max automotive in surprise is by far the best place I\u2019ve found. Super honest, very fair pricing, will not upsell you or tell you that you need extra things done. The closest I got to that was when I took the car in once it was past due on an oil change which I had planned to do myself but hadn\u2019t had the time to get to. He fixed the issue I came in for (breaks I think) and offered to do the oil change for free, just charged me like 15 bucks for the oil. I have an EV now but if I still had my Toyota truck I\u2019d take it to him in a heartbeat

OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares

Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.

I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.

Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.

I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.

I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.

If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.

My 2005 Prius needed brakes, I paid $7 for pads and $12 for each rotor. That's $31 for pads and rotors.

Needs brakes and suspension. Need new pads and rotors front and back and new calipers front and back as well, car is from a rust state and are pretty rusty. Needs new shocks all around as well since they're blown. With parts no labor I priced everything around 800 bucks.

It had about 35k miles on it and the service rep said it failed due to the front brakes being worn down to the rotors.
