Replacing brake pads at dealer

When it’s time for new brake pads do you get the original long lasting quality pads if you use the dealer to install?
I know if I bought pads at Autozone the pads last 30k miles vs the original pads from the factory last 80k.

 

Unless finances dictate otherwise, OE.

 

So I’m looking for an answer… if you use the dealer will you end up with the long lasting pads??

 

It depends on what they are installing.

If Joe Blow mechcanics puts OE in and the dealer puts OE in, they will last the same.

If Joe Blow mechanics puts NAPA in and the dealers puts NAPA in, they will last the same.

 

What he's saying is, make sure the dealer is using the original Toyota part. Just being at the dealer is no guarantee of such. Even the dealer will use refurb parts and parts store parts based on availability.

 

It's always worth the extra $$ up front to use OE brake pads vs the aftermarket ones. In the long run they are cheaper because they last so much longer. Also, having a dealer do a brake job is a rip off. They will charge a fortune and it's literally a 30 to 45 minute job to do it yourself and extremely easy.
