Don’t go for cheap offers from local workshops, I went to Firestone once for their $79 brake change and they put really cheap brake-pads which were as noisy as worn-down good-brake pads. I complained to them and they were like “yeah, this is what you get for this price”, I took the matter to their upper management and they ended up refunding the money back. I then went to better workshop and replaced with little more expensive ones.
This is very expensive maintenance IMO. Shocks/struts costs around $100 apiece if I am not mistaken.
Newer cars are now coming with timing-chain which you only change if broken.
What do you say about “synthetic” oil?
Good suggestions overall :k:
