Bosch are the only good ones IMO
Pros: only good ones
I’ve used the Bosch Icon on a few cars and really like them but they are ridiculously priced.
Pros: really like them
Cons: ridiculously priced
I’ve used them for brake pads, rotors, and spark plugs. I haven’t had a problem with them.
Pros: reliable, no problems
I live in NorCal. A few years an O'Reilly's employee suggested saving my Bosch for the wintertime and use my Rain-X or Michelin wiper blades in the summer as the UV rays are the biggest single factor in their deterioration. Now using my first pair of Bosch into it's third NorCal winter and still holding up great!
Pros: holding up great
Cons: UV rays deterioration
The icons just keep going and don't harden or get shredded as much, i clean them with a solvent (WD40) every few months and they are back to good as new.
Pros: good as new, long lasting
Cons: require cleaning
Bosch is still usefull i use Rear disks since 25k km , and still good
Pros: good quality, long lasting
Mileage: 25000 km
Car needed an alternator - Golf 1.8 TSI Was told there was nothing available OEM (Bosch) in Canada, and couldn't tell me when one would be available. Was quoted CAD$1800!! + install labor. Found a used OEM one at the scrap yard for CAD$50....
Pros: found used OEM one
Cons: nothing available OEM
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
definitely avoid Bosch spark plugs. I'm not personally a fan and I've seen plenty fail. Unless they were original in the motor (usually Subarus don't use Bosch), I'd stick with NGK or Denso in my opinion.
Pros: stick with NGK, Denso
Cons: avoid Bosch spark plugs
Vehicle:
Subaru
Contrary to popular comments, I have moved away from Bosch. I consider that quality went down and they do not last long.
Cons: quality went down, short lifespan
Vehicle:
BMW
