Wagner Front brake pad price.

[Service1956]

I need to install new brakes on my 2011 avalanche. The one's I am looking at are the Wagner OEX 1363 Ceramic front pads. A local discount parts store "OReillys" wants $73.99 for 2 wheels. However, if I order from Rock Auto online the price is $26.79 for the same product! Has anyone had experience from this company? The price seems almost too good to be true!

I guess OReillys doesn't want to sell them. I don't purchase from "O"

 

You can trust Rockauto. Be sure and check price after adding shipping whenever buying from them so you can make accurate comparison to other places. Sometimes on multiple part orders, they will ship from more than one location and shipping can be a bit much

I'd go with a little better pad for the money, wagners are good but you can still get a good daily/performance pad for a touch more money.

 

Parts stores have the mark up because you don't pay the shipping and won't pay any other shipping for warranty issues.

CamGTP, can you suggest a better brand of pad?

I thought AC delco made a more performance/daily driver pad but I'd have to look again. Otherwise powerstop makes great pads. They should be low dust and ceramic as well.

O'reilly warranty program has o'reilly funding it with higher prices. I've installed enough parts from them on my cars that they own my cars. Pretty much free parts for life with my labor.

I am not much satisfied with customer service of OReillys. Better to look for any other auto retailer.
