Testimonial Tuesday: “Almost perfect right out the gate”

Testimonial Tuesday is back!

Today we’re catching up with Bryan from Ken’s Auto Center in San Diego, CA. 

Having received zero negative feedback, Bryan describes DFC brake pads as “almost perfect right out the gate.” Click the video below to watch his testimonial.

“Typically,” Bryan says, “your OEM pads are soft and they create a lot of dust. We notice with the DFC brake pads the dusting is significantly less…50% I would say.” 

Not only is there less dusting from our brake pads, they also have a short break-in period and are a proper fitment. 

“Having a brake pad that fits into that factory hardware with ease and at the same time remains solid in the clip and doesn’t move a lot,” shares Bryan, “is exactly what we like.”

DFC’s mission is to deliver quality and innovation by manufacturing OE quality brake products for all foreign and domestic vehicles.

Testimonial Tuesday: “As close to an OEM as possible”

Testimonial Tuesday is back!

Today we’re talking DFC with Bryan from Ken’s Auto Center in San Diego, CA. 

“It’s really important that we get as close to an OEM as we absolutely, possibly can,” says Bryan. He explains that both the material and craftsmanship of DFC is “top notch.”

Pricing is one of the pain points of customers everywhere.

As Bryan mentions, there is variation between a full factory fit and an economy-style rotor. To save money, customers sometimes prefer one over the other. That said, he considers DFC an excellent choice for either need. 

As part of their commitment to serving the military and its veterans, Ken’s Auto Center plans to create a program that offers veterans a free set of DFC Brake Pads with every brake job. We wish this new program great success in braking boundaries!

Testimonial Tuesday is back and today we’re talking pads with Willie from AMTMOTORS in Los Angeles, CA.

Comebacks are great in sports, but not when it comes to brake pads.

• “This brake pad will avoid the comebacks”
A great price point

What’s unique about DFC’s brake pad hardware? Co-founder Dino Crescentini breaks it down in this video

Hardware is often overlooked, but it can make or break your next brake job.

The reality is hardware can be stressed or corroded within a year or two, leading to reduced spring tension, premature and uneven wear, as well as noise. 

Co-Founder Dino Crescentini presents the value of hardware for your brake job, as well as the signature features of DFC Hardware Kits

Click the image below to view the video.

The most important thing about hardware is for the spring tension to maintain the proper alignment of the pad and caliper. This alignment helps in both the prevention and reduction of noise.

In addition, our caliper abutment clips are coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as teflon. 

DFC goes one step further: we add PTFE coating to vehicle-specific applications that didn’t come standard originally on the vehicle. This increases brake performance and prevents unnecessary noise.

Finally, when it’s time for you to replace the hardware, make sure you use the right hardware to perform a perfect brake job.

Testimonial Tuesday: Jason installs DFC 5000 brake pads on 2016 Toyota 4Runner

It’s Testimonial Tuesday and we caught up with Jason from RT Clapp Car Repair Center in Tennessee.

DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads give you dependable stopping power on your daily drive. Whether you’re driving a family sedan, a sport compact or a light duty truck, the brake response is firm and responsive, like when your car was new. 

Jason gives us his take on DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads as he installs them on a 2016 Toyota 4Runner. Click the video below to check out more.

In any braking system, the individual components need to interact with each other for an optimal stopping experience.

Each component depends on each other, and on specific measurements that are designed into each part. All of this ensures a complete system match for your vehicle. 

DFC 5000-Advanced Pads

DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads were formulated for each individual axle, with friction materials designed to meet the increasing demands of modern vehicles with ABS. 

DFC is the first to act upon these new demands by not only reviewing the original equipment brake systems by platform, but specific vehicles within the platform.

It often happens with specific vehicle tuning (such as a change in wheel and tire size), that the friction material is also changed to compensate for the increased (or decreased) traction capability without changing any of the other parameters in the braking system.

We have taken all of this into account and provide the market with the appropriate friction for each axle of each and every vehicle.

Testimonial Tuesday: Robert from TLC Automotive talks heat dissipation and DFC 5000 ADVANCED pads

We stand by the premium quality of DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads and are confident they improve driving safety and overall braking performance.

We caught up with Robert from TLC Automotive to talk shop. Click the video below to hear his thoughts on heat dissipation and other top value features of the DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads.

DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads are specially formulated for each axle. Because individual components need to interact with one another (each depending on very specific parameters designed into each part), these pads were designed for a system match.

They are a popular choice for compact sports cars, family sedans and even light duty trucks. As far as maintaining balanced braking (important for vehicles with ABS and automated braking), these pads deliver smooth and reliable stopping power. 

DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads

DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads provide the proper friction performance through efficient heat dissipation and are a 100% asbestos-free. 

Customers have delighted in both the reasonable price point and the overall quality of these pads. The braking period is very good and there are no squeaks and no shaking. Furthermore, they dissipate heat quickly–meaning rotors won’t get warped.

Due to the sophistication in today’s vehicles, we are committed to offering brake parts of the highest standard and performance.
