What is a good brand for brake pads and shoes?
mom2omar asked:
I have mechanic that will changes my brake pads and shoes for me, but I wanted to purchase the parts in advance. What is a good brand to buy? Not looking for anything over priced. Just quality, reasonably priced pads and shoes for my 2000 ford taurus lx.
I am purchasing these parts online and don’t want to base the decision soley on which is the cheapest. I would rather pay a little extra and get quality parts. I don’t want to overpay for junk.

i don’t know what brand name ask the store.. If you go to a national chain of parts store like autozone or whatever, they will usually have at least 2 brands. a very cheap one, and then the good quality one they recommend.
I find that when working on a car, the time doing the work is valuable too, and it is better to spend the extra $20 buying quality parts and if you’re lucky they will last the rest of the life of the car or till you sell it and you won’t have to do another brake job
Go to your local auto parts store, they can show you several “choices” of brands, with different warranties…
Bendix is usually the highest priced, but others are made with similar quality standards…
Try Raybestos brand. They offer several grades and they are well regarded in the industry.
