Renault Sandero Brake Pads

[Aharon]

Hi

I have a Renault Sandero 2010/2011 model. I need knew brake pads and am clueless about cars.

Despite that I've done some research as follows:

Dealership - 1500 with installation
Dealership - 650 for the pads, supa quick will fit for 250.
Autozone - 350 + supa quick fit of 250.

So, I guess it's ridiculous to let the dealership install. But then what is the difference between the pads from Renault versus Autozone? Which is the best brand to get if I do go Autozone or pros and cons of both brands (feredo or safeline or...?)

Lastly does anyone know what brand Renault use as oem?

My mechanic once told me that that best break pads are made by Ferrodo and that companies like Toyota buy from them. Just get quality break pads and get them fitted.

Don't go the cheapest route with brake pads. Find out from Autozone what brand of pads they are selling you. Ferodo is a hard compound so it can damage the discs as well from what I have heard. Safeline is a little softer and I think comes with a conditional kilometre guarantee. ATE brake pads are reported to be OEM so I would say they are the closest to the Renault brand.

Oh, if possible, when going to buy the brake pads, see if you can get a sample of the ones fitted on your vehicle or even an outline. When I was replacing my Toyota brake pads, none of the aftermarket ones would fit! Turns out Toyota was the only one who kept the 'correct' ones, it was like a few millimeters longer.

When I replaced my old Sandero's brake pads I just bought from midas and remember they had the exact same brand pads minus the renault logo on the box so just bought them and done the fitment myself, had no issues.

Can't remember the brand was a while ago, but when I went in they had the vehicle on the system and it was about R300. I then called the dealer and confirmed the brand.

Just give midas a call.

Hogwash. It depends on which Ferodo you go for. If you can get Ferodo premier, do it.

Nope, no issues at all. Only issue I had was what to do with all the money I saved

Don't know if it as simple for all vehicles but with my Sandero it was.

Lol, my knowledge of cars is frightening at best

Your recommendation?

Call any Midas/Autozone or Starbrake (Edenvale) Ask if they have the Ferodo's for the Sandero. Should have.

I had never changed brake pads in my life, jacked the car up, loaded youtube and got it done chop chop, just be prepared to get dirty

Was a fun experience and now I just always do it myself, was a lot quicker and easier the second time around, but for R250 suppose you could just get them to do it.

 

[Aharon]

Haha, I'll pay 250

Good plan. It's a pain
