👊 Fighting the Fakes 👊

Fake brakes can have serious consequences!

Counterfeit products use inferior materials, drastically increasing the risk of accidents.

Not only will the pads wear quicker, but they will not perform as required, especially when you really need them to.

Brakes are safety critical – you get what you pay for. Do you really want to risk it?

👊 Fighting the Fakes 👊

Brakes are safety critical. If a price seems too good to be true, it’s best not to risk it.

The cost of living crisis will likely see product pirates seizing the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to push their cheaper products.

To avoid being a victim of fake brakes, do not source parts from unknown or online sites just because they have a good deal or offer on.

Only qualified partners are allowed to distribute Textar. Our products offer good value for money, but they can never be cheap. This is not possible when you consider the annual investments of 30 million euros into R&D to develop friction products precisely matched to the respective vehicle.
