Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service! The gentleman I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. He took his time and gave me confidence in my order. I will not hesitate to order again. Other companies should take note as buybrakes has set the gold standard in customer service. Thank you

Slow shipping

No shipping on weekends I understand. However, I ordered Saturday and it is approaching lunchtime on Tuesday and still no tracking info or email indicating my order has shipped. I talked to customer service yesterday (Monday) and was assured my order was ready to go and would be shipped before the end of business Monday.

Not the best experience

Not the best experience. Ordering was easy, however I had to follow up for three weeks before finally receiving my order a month after I placed it.

I then saw that I could have ordered the brakes for less elsewhere but did not receive a response to my price match guarantee email.

Very disappointed that it took 5 days to be actually shipped from time of purchase which then added additional days for it actually arrive way past the allotted timeframe the website said it would take. This also delayed my scheduled appt for the work to be done since the parts didn’t arrive and now pushed the work another week with no car.

Awesome company

David was awesome. Had some trouble finding the kit I wanted due to it not being in stock. He communicated with me everyday and updated me on how the search was going. He double checked everything twice to make sure it would fit properly. One of the best customer experiences I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend this company!

Great people to deal with

I always ask my son what he would like for Christmas. This year he told me he wanted parts for his car and he gave me the links to find it. I ordered it and right away received confirmation. I received an email telling me the color was not in stock. We were willing to wait. But I just got confirmation that is on the way it will be here before Christmas and so appreciated. This company is awesome and it's all run by veterans thank you so much for a job well done,
The customer service rep is from the exact town where I live I thought that was pretty neat( You Know Who You Are thank you)

Above and beyond

When I ordered brakes for my car I ordered a certain type and brand but when I received my package the pads for the rear were not there and everywhere I checked I was told they were not available, out of stock, even with BuyBrakes. I had given up trying to get the brakes I wanted and was going to purchase anything just to get the job done. But before I purchased them I received a message from BuyBrakes telling me they were on their way and today I received them. I had given up on finding what I wanted but the salesperson I had talked to at BuyBrakes evidently had not. They went above and beyond to find these pads and want them to know they are really appreciated. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service! Jim A.

Reply from BuyBrakes.com

Thank you for that Jim! The dedicated staff at BuyBrakes.com will often go the extra mile in working through some of the challenges our customers face when trying to get a part, application or fitment. Because we know brakes in-depth and talk with manufacturers such as Stoptech, Brembo, Hawk, EBC and Wilwood weekly, we have relationships we can lean on to get that extra level of service or intel that helps our end users get the right brake components to accomplish the task at hand.

Very pleasant experience

Very pleasant experience, Adam is very knowledgeable, he took time to explain different brakes and made sure I had the right one. Will definitely buy again and also inform my friends. Good job Adam.
