What is the difference between replacing brake pads at a 4S store and outside?

[Madelyn]

The main difference between replacing brake pads at a 4S store and outside lies in the price and quality. The differences between replacing brake pads at a 4S store and outside are as follows: Price: Generally, the cost of replacing parts at a 4S store is much higher than replacing them outside. The cost of replacing parts or repairing a car outside is usually one-third of that at a 4S store. Quality: The quality of brake pads replaced at a 4S store is guaranteed, and warranty services are provided. The quality of brake pads replaced outside varies, and some unscrupulous vendors may pass off inferior products as high-quality ones, leading to quality issues after replacement and potential safety hazards. Generally, for safety components and core car parts like brake pads, airbags, transmissions, and engines, it is best to have them replaced and repaired at a 4S store. Although the cost at a 4S store may be higher, it ensures safety and quality.
