autozone parts brakes and alternators are they good?

I put Raybestos brakes and rotors from Checker in my toyota truck 5 years ago. Not a single squeak! But when I took the truck in to get the rear brakes done because I refuse to work on drum brakes, not only did it cost more, but my brake pedal went straight to the floor 3 times in a row while on the freeway exit ramp. You pros screw stuff up too, and charge too much.

It is a very much get what you pay for industry. I would not by from auto zone but would buy from either napa or o'reillys. If your plan is to keep the truck for several more years, then buy at least the mid-grade parts if not the premium line. Ask the parts guys what the o.e. {origional equipment} type pads were and consider those in your decision. Even if the pads cost $60 to $80 they only need to be replaced every 40.000 miles or more if the parts are good ones.

If you buy the cheapest anything, which you can at auto zone, you get what you pay for. I've started buying ceramic brake pads, and it costs me. They also wear longer and seem to be worth the money. I've got alternators I've had on for quite a while, while your saying auto zone is not really good, you have to look at what you're paying for these items. You can get brand names at auto zone, but not for free.

They buy them products because , people like you charge a arm and a leg to fix them!

for instance,

My wife's car just broke a lower ball joint, now 2 months ago we just had the other side fixed professionally and it cost us 700.00 bucks!

So this time my friend and myself fixed it with parts from Auto zone for

62 dollars!

YOU DO THE MATH!

KNOW DO YOU SEE WHY PEOPLE "DO IT YOURSELF"! ! ! ! !
