I have been buying from brakeworld for years. The have good quality brake parts and the guys who work there actually know what they are talking about unlike other places where you can here 100 reps in a phone bank who don't have a clue what they are selling. I accidentally ordered the wrong part for my subaru wrx, they exchanged it and sent out the new part without making me pay again! This helped as I was kinda running low on $ at the time. You guys Rock!
Scammers. I ordered some "powdercoated" calipers and rotors from them. Paint started chipping off immediately. Rotors were clearly sprayed with a rattle can and seized the brakes when the paint melted under the pads. AVOID!
I am going to be the customer of Brakeworld for life. The people here gave me complete guidance and replaced my brakes in no time. The price was also very reasonable.
I have been using dealer pads for years but they don't last very long tried these at the recommendation of the sales guy was very happy have ******* miles to date and almost zero dust
After going to another brake website that shipped my order wrong 2 x's i finally went to brakeworld.com then new exactly what the issue was and what parts i needed. Got them in 3 days!
Purchased painted rotors (slotted/cross-drilled) and carbon pads. Most problems came from lack of communication - After 3 days of waiting I was told via email that pads/rotors have been "dispatched" from Texas. What I was not told they were going to Brakeworld first, and only THEN they were going to my house. Total time - 10 days. When arrived, both pads and rotors were the correct size and type. However, only a small sticker on one of the boxes stated the paint/coating needs to be removed (sanded off) from the surfaces to be in contact with the pads. My son installed them as they were. Luckily, I found out on a different site these have to be sanded off (that took 30 minutes per rotor). Plus had to sand down the pads now coated with paint. HOWEVER, I believe the parts were as advertised, the right type, and arrived in a reasonable time. My emailed questions were answered within 12-24 hours and with courtesy. I think most of the negative comments have to do with the fact buyers did not understand what they were buying and that the paint had to be removed from rotors before installation. On the other hand, I believe the Brakeworld should make it clearer on their website what needed to be done. Overall, other than lack of directions, it was a positive experience.

Their customer service is HORRIBLE. First we were accused of lying about the defective calipers they sent or that we were incompetent in installing them (which was done at a well-respected auto repair shop-over 50 years in service. Then said to email them and they never responded after SEVERAL attempts. As I pointed out to them- I guess they need the $1400 more than a social worker and gas station attendant do during COVID- despite the fact that they bragged about their products never being defective. Funny, that's not what MANY reviews say that I have read since you ripped us off... Your customer service and your products suck to be frank.
Tip for consumers:
DON'T DO IT!

WWW.BRAKEWORLD.COM Purchases the cheapest brakes possible from a regular auto part store, they drill and slot them and then resell at a 300% mark up. Complete rip off and frankly my 17 years of automotive knowledge tells me that if you DRILL THROUGH a cooling fin you are compromising the integrity of the rotor itself... BUYER BEWARE.!
Tip for consumers:
DONT WALK... RUN AWAY FROM THIS SITE!!!!!!!
I was under the impression that they sold products imported from Italy only to find out it was all inferior quality Chinese copies of good products on the market. Then to top it off I could have bought German engineered brake kit for $300-400 less than what I was charged for this Chinese garbage I was sold. After many calls to customer service only to find out they do not care once they have sold you something. They do not call you back, and basically anything that would make them a good company to do business with is completely missing and backwards. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I saw a review of some brake calipers online. After calling the company i ordered some for my camaro. Beautiful calipers! I am the only one i know who has a camaro SS w/ blue brembo calipers. I have receieved many compliments.
If it sounds to good to be true it most likely is! The coupon for $79 that is advertised is having one purpose only and that is to get you in the store! Then they tell you that special brake pads are needed and the price jumps from $79 to $129 but that's not the end. Then you need break sensors and NEW ROTORS on a 1 year old car! Of course NOT NEEDED! So at the end the bill would come to $500 bucks. That's the most expensive $79 Coupon I ever printed out! :) DISHONEST & UNPROFESSIONAL & NOT TRUSTWORTHY! Try to sell you Parts that are NOT NEEDED! Jack up the price! My recommendation is RUN as fast as you can!
Sell low quality products, I got replacement pads and rotors from them that does not work nearly as good as stock, rust heavily, they also sent me incorrect parts that they are refusing to exchange, they are rated "F" with the BBB - I will never buy from them again.
I saw this video on Youtube and this guy adam was owed money for three years and was so mad. I should have taken my cue from that, but I didn't and look what happened.
Bought 4 yellow brembo calipers for my Charger Scatpak. They were hundreds less than buying htem from my chevy dealer and they had them in the yellow color I wanted. Hats off guys! I will be back.

I think when I added performance rotors from the Brake World I could get perfect option to drive the car. The potency and the productivity of the vehicle have become much better than ever.
I ordered rotors and after having them installed I noticed a bad shudder in the steering wheel every time I would brake. I took it back to the shop and was told it was the rotors. Every time I would email them they ignored me. Every time I call I get the run around. When I called them on giving me the run around after weeks of it David hung up on me. Now when I call they just see my number and put me on permanent hold. DO NOT SPEND A DIME ON THIS SCAM SITE!
This place is excellent. I dropped in here on Saturday as I had to service my brakes. On Sunday, my work was complete and I had new rotors and brake pads. The service is quick and efficient.
I ordered front & back gold rotors, told the guy the year, make and model 2x, then repeated myself to make sure he heard me right. A week later the rotors get to me. I take them to my mechanic and he says,"THESE ARE THE WRONG SIZE"I call brakeworld back to let them know and they tell me to ship back and that They would send out the correct set.It cost me $80 to send back. Then when the correct set came, the rear rotors were DAMAGED! I called them back to let them know, wasnt about to send another $80 to send back. When sending the correct rotors to me, they had the nerve to charge me for shipping!$65! I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN!
Upon recommendation from guys in the forum I decided to go with the Hyperceramic brake pads from discitalia. Good pads, great price and NO DUST! I'm a believer :)
Did not sent what I paid for. Poor quality products and customer service. Will never order from them.
