      There’s no such thing as too stupid anymore.

        I don’t understand commercial marketing people for cases like this. If they literally only listed prices on deals, it still wouldn’t matter because shops have relationships with suppliers and will work with whoever has the part when it is needed. All the extra effort in marketing materials like this are wasted effort just to justify corporate staffing bloat.

        Source: Ordered parts all the time in an automotive shop and never looked at these fliers because I would negotiate prices with the guys working the desk to beat the corporate negotiated prices listed and they capitulated because we and they both built a great relationship that benefitted us both.

          Brand recognition. No ones going to buy shetass brakes because no one has heard of shetass brakes.

    It’s a good thing there’s that red circle on the biggest text in the image or my amphibian brain might not know what to look at

    It’s funny, sure, but I bet that as was targeting repair shops, not the end users of the brakes.

      Good catch. It says “For commercial accounts only” at the top.

        No retail parts magazine will mention “comebacks”. That is purely a commercial automotive term and most of the time comebacks are an issue behind the wheel, if you have a good shop.

          He started channel 5 and is doing great. He didn’t own the allgasnobrakes and was getting screwed by the contract he had with the people who did own it.

          He’s been credibly accused of raping several women and confessed to it without apologizing, took a 6 months break, and now he’s posting again.

          He used one of his videos to talk about it and basically said “it could be worse” by pointing at other content creators doing poverty tourism and bad journalism. Of course Andrew is a better journalist, that wasnt ever my concern.

    This may be why the next generation isn’t driving as much, too much temptation to buy the brakes that won’t slow you down XD

      Are millennials ruining the brake industry with their non-stop refusals to stop or slow down?
