Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Chevrolet

I had this symptom as well 2 months ago because my brake pads were worn out. The rotors was fine so only had to replace the brake pad and the braking vibrations went as well.

Put 306k miles in 13 years, on my brand new '07 Silverado 1/2 Ton before I sold it to a mechanic at my preferred shop (leak in the fuel system/tank that was going to require removing the bed etc).\n\nPrior to that issue, I never had a single thing go wrong with it. Tires, brake pads (original set lasted 200k miles), oil/tranny fluid changes, air filters, wiper blades, were all it ever needed.

DIYer advice: buy Toyota pads/rotors from your local dealership's parts counter. Take a photo of your VIN for the parts guy. Once you're in their system, buying parts will be easy. You'll typically pay 20%-25% more for OEM parts, but do you really want to buy cheap pads/rotors?

My oem brake pads, (‘23 A-91MT) are getting low ish after a year of driving her and going to the track. OEM ones seem expensive but they did last a hpde 1/2 driver a year.

I'm on my second one, a '19 Prius Prime I bought new has 507k miles on it today. About to do the first brake job on it soon.

2012 Prius, 202k miles, still with original brakes.

2017 Prius Prime, 110k miles, still with original brakes.

Both inspected annually by our mechanic. Both still going strong.

based on the inputs so far, I have decided to take the Sequoia (price: around $5000, he takes care of the brake pads and rotors.

I had to replace my Bolt's pads because of using the friction brakes so little due to one-pedal driving, they rusted out. It's actually important to make a point of using your friction brakes every now and then.

However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.

We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.
