Brake pads OEM Volvo or WAGNER

OEM Volvo Brake pads

I replaced the front pads myself after 25,000 miles (was 2 years ago), it cost me under $200, including all the necessary tools and original Volvo pads.

Pros: inexpensive, easy installation
Mileage: 25000 km

WAGNER Brake pads

Rating 4.5

Wagner OEX. It's built on a galvanized steel backing plate so it doesn't rust like the painted ones. It also uses a mechanical attachment system to hold the friction material instead of glue, so it won't crack/detach like the cheap pads.

Pros: rust resistant, durable
Cons: none mentioned

They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).

For the account info:

The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.

Pros: excellent service
Cons: multiple coupons issue
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

WAGNER Brake pads

My favorite is Wagner OEX pads. They're build on galvanized steel and the friction material is mechanically attached instead of glued on.

Pros: galvanized steel backing, mechanically attached friction material

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.

Cons: expensive
Vehicle: Volvo

Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).

Cons: pads worn quickly
Vehicle: Volvo
