When technicians sign up, they get a Free 100% Poly T-Shirt with their enrollment (one per customer) and an opportunity to win valuable Grand Prizes with every GCX Rotor or PQ PRO Brake Pad set they install. Participation is easy. To enter, all the technician has to do is take a selfie with each installation and send it in to Centric Parts.

GCX Brake Rotors are vehicle-specific and engineered to match OE performance and provide superior protection from rusting and corrosion, while our PQ PRO Brake Pads deliver full stopping power smoothly and quietly without the need for pad bed-in. We feel that this exceptional combination gives today’s professional technicians the ideal brake service advantage.”

According to Jayme Farina, Vice President of Sales, “We want to bring in new customers and build more sales with our advanced new GCX Rotors and PQ PRO Brake Pads, so we’ve created an exciting and fun promotion for professional technicians that features a free T-shirt and chances to win exciting prizes every time they install GCX Rotors or PQ PRO Brake Pads on customers vehicles.”
