I have a 2007 Lexus ES350. I do some spirited driving, and also would like good initial bite and 0 to low brake fade.

Has anyone ever heard of or used this brand? They are being sold on rock auto for a pretty good price and promise alot. https://quality-built-brake-pads.motorcarparts.com/#WorkForce_Pad_Section Should I go with this brand or steer clear?

Also wanted to note, I did notice the bottles do look similar to Shell Rotella bottles...

Hey everyone hope your having a good day, was at my local automotive wholesaler today and they recently started carrying this motor oil from a brand called Teton. They have a wide range of these oils from conventional to full synthetic etc. 5 Quarts of full synthetic is selling at $13, so I...

I usually buy jugs or the 6 gallon eco boxes but you can’t pass up that price

Hey guys, I was at my local federated auto parts yesterday and the commercial manager told me about their promotion on wolf’s head oil. They’re selling it at $4.39 / quart. Pretty good price, wanted to see what the general consensus was as I might stock up on this. Talking like 6-12 gallons or...

You said you use Gold pads from AZ. Do you think it is true that Bosch makes them? I have heard a few rumors that Bosch makes those AZ Gold pads. Besides those gold pads what other pads from rock auto would you recommend because sometimes my customers can wait for parts and need something cheaper.

I've used Element3s on over 50 cars easily and never had your issues, but it's good to know.

I run a small mobile mechanic business and I’m just wondering what brakes are used here. I mainly use Raybestos RLine and their Element3 line. Ive used some store brands and centric rotors aswell. On rock auto there is alot of options for let’s say a 2016 Town and Country. I see people mention...

Went into my local Oreilly’s today to grab some car parts for one of my customers, went by the oil isle and looks like they are rolling out some of these new Syntec oils in a box format. Kind of like Havoline or Valvoline garage box. I’m a big fan of Syntec so I’m very excited about this. The...

I've run STP, MAG1, Havoline, and Federated for 60% of the oil changes at my shop. It works fine with no complaints and does the job for the price. I can usually get those oils for under $4.50 a quart. Occasionally I will use Castrol Edge, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, or Amsoil depending on if it's...

That’s exactly what I plan to do. I’ve heard good things about Mevotech and have had good experiences with their parts. Never used a quick steer part though.

I brought 2 tire rod ends from OReilly (MasterPro ES800286), and 2 sway bar links for the front end (Precision Chassis K750155). The tire rod ends look 1:1 to the Quick Steer’s on rockauto, even having the exact same part number. The sway bar links look exactly like the Mevotech Supremes...

Import genius, if you go to the website they make you pay. The trick is go to google and type in the company + import genius so you just pass the paywall.

Wondering if your favorite parts company is importing Chinese parts, I found this website a few days ago that shows what imports a certain company has been making and it’s fun to go through and see what is getting imported and stuff. The top thing I’ve been seeing is suspension parts and brakes...
