Master Kilmer, I'd be interested in some feedback on good aftermarket part brands for various parts and consumable types. Maybe a 2022 Holy Grail video going through the dominant parts (particularly) consumables and supplie systematicallly by vehicle section (Engine, Brakes, Suspension etc) (one or more videos)?? Brake pads, rotors, plugs, wires, tires, oil/air/fuel filters, shocks, struts , fluids, oxygen sensors (my nemesis), batteries, wiper blades. and when does the Scotty Kilmer national mobile mechanic road trip start??
Not an all inclusive list, but some of the brands I trust: Aisin, Denso, NKG, KYB.
You meant NGK right?
Yes. NGK!
Wix for filters
Moog for chassis or suspension
National or Timken for bearings
Fel-Pro or Mahle for gaskets
Gates for belts/hoses
These are just some off the top of my head. Basically you get what you pay for. If it seems too cheap to be true it usually is. Also look for stuff with lifetime warranties. That means they stand behind the product.
But yes, I wish Scotty would do a national road trip. It seems I'll never get to meet him since he only visits the east coast. 🙁
Anything that comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Akebono Brake Pads.
