When your brakes start squealing or you find yourself pushing harder on the pedal to stop, it's time to visit an auto body shop. You're told that your brakes or rotors need replacing, and you’re eager to get back on the road safely. But just a few months later, the same issue returns — is your car not being stored properly, allowing rust to affect your braking system?
While storage could be a factor, there’s a more likely explanation: you may have had aftermarket brakes installed. These are often chosen for their lower cost, sometimes recommended by insurance companies looking to cut expenses. However, using these parts can put your safety at risk.
At DaSilva’s Auto Body, we prioritize quality and safety. That’s why we only use **original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts** for all our repairs, including brake replacements. Here’s what you should know about aftermarket brakes and why they might not be the best choice.
Aftermarket brakes are typically made from "black steel," which has a layer of black oxide on its surface. Unlike OEM brakes, which are made from galvanized steel and go through a pickling and oiling process to prevent rust, black steel lacks this protection. This makes them more prone to corrosion, leading to early failure and potential danger.
The lack of strict regulations for aftermarket parts means they don’t always meet the same safety standards as OEM components. Studies by the Global Brake Safety Council have shown that these parts are more likely to fail, increasing the risk of accidents. They can also cause brake pads to bind or detach, making it harder or even impossible to stop the vehicle.
If you want reliable, long-lasting performance and peace of mind, choosing OEM parts is the smarter choice. Don’t compromise your safety for short-term savings.
