MINTEX

Comments:

I have been selling Mintex pads for the last 5 or 6 years. I have found that they have the OE braking feel, low dust and low noise characteristics most sought after. I have sold the majority of MIntex pads for the Mercedes ML series, which includes the ML 320, ML 350, ML 430, ML 500 and ML 55. This particular chassis seemed to have a very short brake pad life, a lot of noise problems, and a very high cost for Genuine MB, OE and OEM brake pads.

I have seen that the Mintex pads were able to surmount all of those problems with a longer life, low noise and low dusting properties. This was of course a good thing for my customers.
