your opinion about who should do brakes (?)
what is your opinion about having hyundai brakes fixed by the dealer or by a
brake specializing place or a firestone or a goodyear or a pep boys or any other tire store/shop ? decent experiences & any horror stories are "fun" too 2003 elantra now has about 26,000 miles on it, and i can sorta "hear metal" when applying the brake pedal |

You'll pay more for the same services at a dealer in most cases, but the
other shops are more likely to try to sell you things you don't need or force you to buy them in order to get their advertised warranty. |

Your best bet would probably be a reputable independent shop if you don't want to spend the $$$ on dealer service. In my experience the chains tend to be incompetent and/or dishonest. (Midas seems particularly bad, but I've heard horror stories about most of them over the years.) |

Brakes by their nature are a wear item, thus I would never take the vehicle to the dealer for a brake job. Same goes for belts and hoses, do those yourself or find a reputable independent mechanic to do those tasks for you. As for where to take it...I don't like the chain stores(Just brakes, midas, meineke, etc..) most of them do not provide quality work in my opinion. Usually an independent brake/front end shop will give you better results if you are unable to do the job yourself. Chris |
