SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Mail-in rebates of up to $50 are available to consumers who purchase Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads and/or shoes during Motorist Assurance Program (MAP) Brake Safety Awareness Week, Aug. 21-29, and continuing through September. This special offer is part of Federal-Mogul's "Smart Choice" trade and consumer campaign, which reinforces the message that longer-lasting, better performing replacement parts are the best option for today's vehicle owners.

Consumers can qualify for a mail-in rebate of up to $50 ($15 per front and/or rear set and $10 per axle labor) when they have Wagner ThermoQuiet pads and/or shoes professionally installed on their vehicles during the program period. Customers who purchase and install Wagner ThermoQuiet brakes themselves can qualify for a mail-in rebate of up to $30.

"Brake Safety Awareness Week is an excellent opportunity for consumers to check the condition of their vehicles' braking system," said Lou Kafantaris, group brand manager, Federal-Mogul. "And if it's time for new brakes, they can save money while enjoying the benefits of premium Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads and shoes."

More than 8,000 participating automotive service locations will offer free brake and undercar system inspections in conjunction with Brake Safety Awareness Week. The event is sponsored by the not-for-profit Motorist Assurance Program, which helps build consumer trust and satisfaction with the automotive service industry. MAP member businesses are required to adhere to a strict set of fact-based vehicle inspection and customer communication standards. More information about MAP is available at www.motorist.org.

Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads combine the exclusive benefits of two patented technologies: Federal-Mogul's award-winning Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) one-piece brake pad and Wagner EDGE Laser-Shaped Friction designs. Combined with the Federal-Mogul's extensive portfolio of proprietary, application-specific formulations, these technologies deliver quieter performance, superior stopping power and longer pad life, according to the company. ThermoQuiet pads and shoes are available through thousands of automotive service locations and parts stores across North America.
