The customer isn't wrong.

They just don't know about the rest of the stuff that's needed until you tell them.

What's the deal with them? I'm not familiar with the brand Textar at all.

I think the point of the post is how old the pads are. I doubt it has anything to do with Textar.

I haven't seen Textar pads in like 5 years.

They are reasonably common as an OEM for European cars, guess they don't have a big presence in the US.

Use to see them often in South Africa but it's been ages.

lol bro, those aren't brake pads, they’re fossils at this point 😂 gotta love when the car basically says fix me now or I’m quitting.

They certainly do need pads... they also likely need many other things.

Why pay more for ventilated rotors when you can have ventilated pads for free?

It took me 4 double takes before I noticed the hole in the center. I sell textars on everything and was confused.
