Brakes & Warrenty Etc - Help

[deejaygee]

Right - my front pads have about 1k miles left on them so need to change soon, Lexus have quoted me £126 inc of Gold Discount - now then that seems a lot in my book considering other garages are charging £65-ish fitted!

My questions are:

1. What brand are Lexus OEM front pads?

2. If I get another garage to fit, will it void my warrenty etc - was thinking of either mintex pads or EBC.

Cheers guys (and gals sorry)

No it won't invalidate you warranty, even a blower doesn't do that

sorry, still trying to find out how to post.

Lexus said i needed front pads cost £146. Phoned parts dept. £58.

1. Where else can i buy original pads.

2. are there any problems fitting them (i've worked on fords for years )

If you don't want to use Toyota pads then go with Mintex, they work with the stock discs. I wouldn't recommend EBC.

The Lexus price is high because of their labour rates, the actual pads aren't too expensive.
