There’s no shortage of brake parts, systems, kits, and components online. Whatever you are shopping for in brakes, here’s a primer from Buy Brakes to help you get the job at the right price.
- To start your search, use more than one search engine. If you only search Google, you’re going to get results prioritized by that platform’s commercial client’s first. If you also do a search on Duck2Go and Bing, you’re going to get a different set of businesses. You can also look on social media, including YouTube, for an even more varied list of suppliers.
- Once you’ve identified a set of likely online parts providers, research them so you know who you are doing business with. We recommend you look at these factors:
- Brands carried
- Product availability
- Price
- Shipping details
- Returns policy
- Can you contact the provider?
- Do they have a lot of positive reviews?
- The next big thing is fitment. This is where the rubber hits the road since you are about to buy a part you’ve never seen from a supplier you’ve never met. Can you be absolutely sure the parts sold will fit your vehicle?
A premier brake parts supplier will always cross-check fitment multiple times before shipment to ensure that all the ‘I’s’ are dotted, and ‘T’s’ are crossed before the part makes its way to your house.
