Be careful about that, because when you turn in your car, you might get a bill for a set of new tires. As stipulated in every lease, you need to return the car with 'normal' wear and tear, and not tires that are nearly worn out.
If this is the case, get a set of used tires mounted and return the car. You will need to pay fill list price (rape price aas i like to call it) on any parts that need to be replaced. |

| I can ask this guy my family is close with, he owns a tire shop and deals specifically with tires, but its in Rexdale, so you will have to drive some distance outta Toronto. |

^^^ I have no idea where Rexdale even is but thanks :)
I think I will maybe wait a bit and have some friends that know anything about cars/tires have a look and see if it is legit or that they were just wanting my to buy tires from them.....it was a little over $250 before tax for the tires (Im lucky cause I have an Accent and the tires are small on it), but those are brand new tires....I don't think I would go that route as I don't want to sink money into a car Im not keeping. |

I thought I'd resurrect this thread as I noticed that my right brake has started to make scary grinding noises
:eek:
My dad says I missed the warning signals telling me to replace my brake pads - I blame loud trance for not hearing any squealing.
Anyhow, I'll probably have to replace both the pads and disks.
Are there any known shops that charge reasonable prices for jobs like this? Or where is a good place to buy parts? I'm thinking of just buying the parts as my dad offered to do the work. |

grinding noises mean that you need to replace the pads

| ill give you a tip that has worked for me millions of time in the past, bring your car to canadian tire, tell them you bought the tire at cdn tire, and ask to have it re-mounted and re-stemmed. they will charge you about 10 bucks and thats just for the balance |

just take it to any well known shop and youll be fine. pricing is pretty standard. trying to save a few bucks by going to some hole in the wall place that you really have no idea about typically amounts to headaches in the end.
so any brake place, like midas..crappy tire..
or just do it yourself ;)(like i do ) |
