“Today we added front and rear pad kits for some key passenger cars and CUV’s from General Motors, Mazda and Fiat-Chrysler, a great way to start out the year” stated Kirby Pruitt, Product Development Manager, Akebono. “It was important to begin the year strong, adding coverage for over 1.5 million late-model vehicles that are still in production means the sales potential and coverage for these parts will continue to grow for years to come.”
