Good Day.
I have the CCB option and tried to order a set of rear pads as I noticed a crack in the right rear pad when washing the car this weekend. So far I have called three dealers and all said they could not order the pads without inspecting the vehicle and turning in a report to Alfa Engineering. After Engineering has completed their analysis, then a determination will made if the pads and/or rotors will need replacement. I was just told it could take up to two months before the pads arrive depending on the analysis conclusion.
Has anyone run into this issue yet? Does anyone know a dealer who will sell replacement parts without a service visit? All I want to do is order a set of replacement pads and if the analysis is a failure on Alfa's part, then I will worry about who pays. In the meantime I just want to drive the car. :wink2:
Even Bentley would let you buy spare parts for their vehicles and every brand I have ever owned until now. I have been defending Alfa since I took delivery of the car as it has been error free, unlike a certain German brand I owned before this car. Right now, I am having serious second thoughts if I cannot purchase something as simple as brake pads. And before anyone says anything, I never had an issue with CCB equipped cars in the past, just walked into a Porsche or BMW dealership and paid for the pads or ordered them online.
Thanks in advance.
