Brake pads OEM Toyota or Tesla
I run a fleet of Camrys and use Toyota pads because I've found that they produce the least brake dust and I HATE dirty wheels.
I bought my 2016 Prius used with 32k miles on it back in 2019. It now has 157k miles and the maintenance has been a breeze. Just standard oil changes every 5k, 1 transmission fluid change, two sets of tires and I don\u2019t even think I have replaced the brakes yet ..no seriously I don\u2019t think I have yet.
Rear brake pads and rotors will not have an effect on nor cause a master cylinder failure.
Max automotive in surprise is by far the best place I\u2019ve found. Super honest, very fair pricing, will not upsell you or tell you that you need extra things done. The closest I got to that was when I took the car in once it was past due on an oil change which I had planned to do myself but hadn\u2019t had the time to get to. He fixed the issue I came in for (breaks I think) and offered to do the oil change for free, just charged me like 15 bucks for the oil. I have an EV now but if I still had my Toyota truck I\u2019d take it to him in a heartbeat
Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.
Will not go back. Love to quick launch, quiet drive, no maintenance. Still on original disks and PADS at 180,000 km (120k miles)
Oh, I did have rust pop on one of the original brake pads so I had to replace that this spring - very little pad wear though!
Needs brakes and suspension. Need new pads and rotors front and back and new calipers front and back as well, car is from a rust state and are pretty rusty. Needs new shocks all around as well since they're blown. With parts no labor I priced everything around 800 bucks.
Bought a 2012 Toyota Sequoia from Heritage Motors on Shore Drive with a fresh inspection on it, So I personally figured it'd be solid, as Sequoia's are known to be pretty dependable. Not only was it a lemon/some huge issues, but the brakes were slapped together with bubble gum and hopes and prayers. The brake pad on the passenger side was installed backwards, which I was shocked it didn't make noise on the test drive
To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.
