    hello mga tsong!.. I'm having a problem with my brakes right now, pag nagbrake ako tumutunog sya, parang pumipito or nagwiwhistle sya.. tanong ko lang sa inyo mga guys kung saan maganda magpachek-up at magparepair ng brakes, ciempre yung affordable and maganda ang service... I'm from Caloocan (north) near fairview, so the nearer the better... tsaka add ko na rin kung magkano na ba ang break pads at kung ano ang brand na maganda, ciempre yung affordable pero maganda quality.. so summarize ko lang, (1) repairshops-brakes specialist (2) brake pads-cost/brand... thanks mga guys!.. hope to year from you soon!

    servitek is nice.

    i've had good experiences with simple bendix brand pads. the blue, standard kind. last time brought a set was 2 years ago yata, 850 petot.

    try not to be swayed by sellers offering you "racing" type pads. they're expensive (like the bendix metal kings...meron pa ba nito?), pero kakainin yung rotors mo. best to get the cheap, standard ones.

    be sure to get the techs to bleed your brakes properly.

    below 500 ang cost of labor sa ganyan sa servitek. yung bendix pads, pwede mo na din kunin sa kanila. meron din sila nun dun.

    Bendix Metal Kings are still available. They might be more aggressive against your rotors but it will still take many many years of hard driving to wear down the rotors. Advantage of Bendix Metal Kings is that they still bite very well at much higher temperature where regular brake pads have already overheated and started to have brake-fade.

    I like using Bendix Metal Kings. Performance brake pads at an affordable price. It is like how much would you pay to get out of an accident from happening in the first place?

    Between P900 to P1400 for a set, depending on whom you buy and what application.

    My Sentra and Corolla uses metalking pads costing between P1000 & P1200.

    No "whistling".

    may binenta sakin dati, made in canada, R spec yata yung brand.

    matigas, maingay, at panget ang stopping power. after 6 months pinatanggal ko na. damn thing was cracked in 2 places at the left side, the right was super smooth like glass (masama yata ito)... had to resurface my rotors. *400 per rotor, hindi yata biro yun... should have stuck with the tried and tested bendix.

    mura na pala bendix, 600 na lang yata. may fake ba na bendix? ba't iba iba presyo nila? may nagbibigay ng 450 sa banawe eh...
