A happy customer.

I needed specific brake parts for my track car. I had spoken to 3 other companies and none of them could help me with the items that I wanted. Then I went online and called BuyBrakes.com. What a difference, John Butler in Sales understood my problem and what I was looking for, and also suggested other changes I could try to solve an ongoing brake issue I have. Fast, knowledgeable and pleasant. I have bought brake parts from them before, and from now on will be dealing directly with John at BuyBrakes.com.

If I can give less the a star I would

If I can give less the a star I would, the brakes were right but the shipping and customer service was horrible, promised delivery within a week and didn’t end up getting them for almost a month and whenever I tried to contact customer service I got no reply, had to have my bank contact them and threaten to take the money back they decided to ship it urgent same day. Still never got an email back or anything from them!

Industry wide, there are parts shortages and worldwide there are supply chain issues. We encourage a phone call over an email as that way you get immediate service and answers. We can also guide you to brake rotor or pad alternatives when one of our brands/vendors is out of stock. BuyBrakes.com is open 5am to 5pm M-F PST 888-257-7149, call in so we can help.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience, I dealt with John Butler.

Who was a Wealth of knowledge, especially

Since he has been owned
4 Land Rovers, which I was

Looking for brakes for my 2017 L.R. Range Rover Sport.

Couldn't have been more help full, and told me to

Give him a call back in Year, and let him know how the

New pads preformed !.

Which I thought was very nice of him, and the kind of

Customer service, that hasn't been around that I know of

In a good 40 Years, in America anymore.

So, I'm definitely going to take him up on.

So, thank you so much John.

Take Care, and God Bless.

Sincerely,
Don G. Dardanelli
San Jose, California.

Thanks for the kind words Don! Yes, we still believe in having a full and complete conversation regarding brakes for your vehicle and making sure they meet your specific driving needs and other requirements such as dust levels. Enjoy the new pads and let's talk in a year and see if they have outlasted the stock OE Brembo pads which you're only getting 12,000 miles out of. I'm hoping the Stoptech versions we've set you up with will get 30% more mileage, perhaps even double. But, it's driver and speed dependent! -JB

6 dollar part

6 dollar part, 11 dollar shipping...the least you can do is be certain your customers receive their products on time. I could've mailed the same package at 2/3rds the cost and my customer would have received it as promised,...on time. I demand a full refund and if there are restocking fees...I'm referring this to my attorney general. What else have you been doing?

David Rep ID: 291

David was the best Rep I have ever spoken to! He was so helpful finding the brakes for me! He constantly updated me if my kit was in stock. Thank you so much David you rock!

The rotors that were sent do not fit my car, they are too large and I did not order a big break kit. These were supposed to be direct OE replacements. The front rotors diameter are 1 and a half inch longer than OEM, whereas the rear rotors hat is too tall. With you guys being closed on the weekend, I'm going to have to wait until Monday until I can finally speak to somebody about this issue, and pray you guys correct this mistake.

This place is a joke

I placed an order 2 weeks ago. Spent $560 only to call and be told by David that he didn't know why my order hadn't shipped. Said he can't refund me, that some "lady" has to do it. I said I was going to do a charge back if I didn't receive a refund and was going to leave a bad review. David said he "don't care"

What a joke.

No communication whatsoever

No communication whatsoever. Placed an order for what was supposedly 'In Stock', but after two weeks I called to find out why my order still hadn't been shipped. I spoke to someone who confirmed my email address and promised to send me an update shortly, after they spoke with their supplier. Never got that update. Now, six weeks after the order, four weeks after my call, still nothing. Take your business elsewhere...

Very easy time ordering

Very easy time ordering. I just brought my car to the MINI dealer for suspension bushings. The mechanic usually shows me what is going on under the car when it's on the lift. He knows I do some work myself. So he pointed out that the sensor was touching the disc. I did the front ones last year. The parts will be here soon after my car is back.

Buybrakes.com

Buybrakes.com was the only place in the country to have a particular rotor in stock. This saved me from having to try another rotor as I have a track event before the manufacturer will produce more. Buybrakes matched the price of a competitor and followed up to verify fitment.
I’ll be buying my rotors here from now on.
