My car needs alot of stuff....
I took my car to the honda dealership recently due to my right wheel vibrating. While I was there I decided to do the 60000 mile checkup. They called me back and wanted $1800 
. They said my front struts were blown, wheel was bent, my ac system need to be fixed, rotors needed to be changed, and I needed 4 new wheels. Am I better off ordering most of these parts and doing it myself with friends? If I can order it can someone show me where I could order these parts from a legit site.

Rep Power: 337 They said my front struts were blown - Time to upgrade - Get tokico if your low on cash
wheel was bent - Buy a new rim cheaper than getting it fixed.,
my ac system need to be fixed, - What needs to be exactly?
rotors needed to be changed - They probibly just need to be turned (made flat) an auto place can turn them off the car cheap usually for around 12 buck a rotor
I needed 4 new wheel - rims or tires?

Rep Power: 0 my rotors needed to be resurfaced, so i just bought brand new brembo blank rotors and they were really cheap. i did the install myself. it's a piece of cake if you have an impact screwdriver.
you can get a set of rims and tires for $500 shipped. shocks for $325. brembo blank rotors $60 (for 2 rotors). that comes to $885 so far, and these are all brand new better performing parts than stock. as for the AC, do you notice it working differently? i might be able to figure that out for you.
