question is where to get parts?

Brakes are terribly easy to do. I just did front and back, rotors and pads on my 2013 Kia Sorento and have actually been doing brakes since I was about 18.

I just took it to a place here on Hamilton mountain. Apparently I have a leak in my right front strut as well. They wanted to charge me.. $4600 for brakes and struts. I almost died..

Took it to Mountain Auto Tech on Hamilton Mountain. Charged me only $510 for OEM. I'm happy.

Turns out there was a minor leak in my front right strut after all. Just had that replaced today as well for $350.

Much better than the other quote I got!

That was rotors and pads! They are a very good friend of my girlfriend's uncle so it was basically no labour charged!
