Review on πŸ” Wagner PAB553R Riveted Brake Shoe Set: Premium Quality for Superior Braking Performance by Theodore Huynh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Chinese shoes looked like I bought them on the stock exchange.

Summary: Ordered front and rear, same brand, same "ThermoQuiet". The fronts are made in the USA, the backs are made in China. DO I HAVE TO FINISH THE STORIES? US pads looked pristine, sealed, in a clean box, correct size, with some paperwork. The Chinese shoes looked like I bought them at an auto parts swap yard. The shoes were wrinkled, worn, chipped and broken. The 4 pads were missing 2 rivets (2 on one and 1 on the other) which help hold the friction material to the plate. The box fits 12 shoes if they don't fall apart, dirty from unpacked shoes in the box. Without paperwork of course. NOW. God bless Revane. Returning was ridiculously easy. Click click click DONE. FOR FREE. FAST. They sent me my new ones in 2 days, tagged others to return, took UPS. I can't blame Revain for Wagner deciding to ruin his reputation by selling brake parts made by a 10 year old Chinese kid.

Pros
