Nichols understands that drivers who frequently carry heavy loads require heavy duty stopping power. That’s why his Fleet “rides exclusively on DFC products.”
He adds, “We have found that the GEOSPEC high-carbon content rotors resist cracking. The 1214 Series Heavy Duty Brake Pads resist fading and stop well at all temperatures.”
There’s no doubt that when it comes to emergency response (especially with that kind of volume) you absolutely need performance and dependability.

Welcome to “Questions with Dino,” a new series where DFC Co-founder Dino Crescentini answers common customer questions.
Today’s question: Why is DFC selling so many brake products for electric vehicles when those vehicles have regenerative braking?
Regenerative braking, found in both hybrid and electric vehicles, provides longer lasting brakes compared to gas-powered vehicles because there is far less braking during normal use.
So why are so many brake products sold for hybrid and electric vehicles, when their brakes should last far longer?
Questions with Dino
To answer this, Dino considers the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Yaris.
Both vehicles have the same fundamental chassis. However, the electric Prius may wear out its brakes faster than the Yaris, even with the aid of regenerative braking!
Why? Because electric vehicles like the Prius carry an extra thousand pounds of weight from their battery. Yes, regenerative braking lasts longer by itself…but because hybrid and electric vehicles are heavier, brakes may wear out sooner than anticipated.
P.S. Did you know?
DFC’s Carbon Alloy Rotors are a direct replacement part for electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3. They can also be paired with DFC 5000 ADVANCED brake pads.

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.”

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!
Today we’re talking pads with Ray and Wayne from Top Shelf Auto in Riviera Beach, FL.
Having used a lot of different pads over the years, Ray and Wayne were not 100% satisfied. For the last 9 months, however, they have been using DFC 5000 ADVANCED pads and are thrilled to have received “no complaints, no comebacks.”

Designed for optimal OE performance and stopping power, DFC 5000 ADVANCED pads include the following features.
