Brake pads OEM Volvo or Duralast

Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.

I just put Duralast Elite Ceramic pads and Duralast Gold rotors on my 2017 5.0 and have been very pleased with them. While not physically measured I’m of the opinion stopping distance has been reduced. Everything you need is in the box and rotors are coated to resist corrosion and have no film to remove before installation.

What bloody manufacturer is this? For my Volvo XC60 it’s around £330 for front discs and pads main dealer

Did all brakes and rotors with top duralast gold and heavy duty ceramic pads- maybe 600

I’ve always run Dynamic Friction or Centric myself. I have no complaints from either brand, both preform well, quiet, seem to last (which will obviously vary by how much you’re driving/stopping), and they get the job done.

I had warp issues with my 2010 Sport MT until I bought these pads and rotors from AutoZone: Duralast Elite pads DE1394 and Duralast Gold rotor 3295DG. This was two years ago and parts were $160 and labor was $80/hour (cheap around here...Philly) for a total around $300.

I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.

I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).

The brakes made of wet cardboard is the only disappointment I have with my 2020 XC90.
