Hi all, thanks for reading this, if you make it to the end! I am posting here because I’m asking for your thoughts and opinions on Brose motor repairs. Please leave a comment if you can.
6 months ago, I started a company called Performance Line Bearings. My main aim was to supply bearings and parts for the Bosch motor. I had the un-obtainable bearings manufactured and eventually sourced the rest. I was asked if I could do other motors? so next, I went on to do the Yamaha, Impulse and Panasonic motors. Now, I am doing the Brose motor, and that’s where you guys come in! The Brose motor is proving extremely awkward and expensive to achieve a repair solution.
The problem is, with all the other motors, I could either source the parts or have large quantities manufactured to make them affordable. I can’t do this with the Brose, sadly there just isn’t enough out there and Brose have used some particularly odd bearing types and sizes.
Would you deem it acceptable to buy a good quality bearing that looked different from the original? Would you be happy to add a seal when fitting a new bearing?
Would you feel ripped off if the cost of a full bearing set was around £200 just for the bearings?
Can anyone tell me the cost of a new Brose motor?
Your answers and comments will help me decide whether to invest in supporting this motor when its warranty expires or not.
Sorry to do a consumer survey on you guys, but if you would rather buy a new motor than pay, probably in the ball park of £275 - £300 for a full overhaul, I would rather find out now.
Thank you for your time.

Wow, maybe at £200 I'm too cheap!
