sorry ppl, I don't know what happened... I swear I typed some questions.

Anyway, I was wondering where, besides getting ripped off by the dealer, do you guys get your maintenance / service done? Specifically, I think I need my brakes serviced... possible rotors remachined and new brake pads. Also, instead of stock brake pads, should I get something else? Anything that's cheaper than stock and better?

Also, I'm looking for a good/cheap place to buy a set of all-season tires. My friend told me about Potenzas and said they were good. Any other recommendation on tires?

thanks y'all

For tires, I would suggest Speedtech in Scarborough. Last time I was looking for tires, he had the best prices I could find. As for which ones to use, I had the Yokohama Avid T4's on my old car and liked them. They were pretty good in all conditions, even the snow and ice. Due to the size of the 1.7EL tires, you could probably also go with the the Avid H4's as well, which I think are actually a better tire.

I go to Mississauga Tire for my tires. I got my winter and summer tires from there and Speedtech came no where close to the price that the guy @ Mississauga Tire gave me If it's 1 or 2 sets of tires for individuals.. (I can't get a million tires for everybody in T.O...) but if a few people want tires (2 or 3 at most).. I'll get you the tires.

Yep, Mississauga Tire is defly the way. I've bought rims, summer and winter tires there. Ive had my brakes done and crossdrilled rotors installed there too. They also did my alignment and camber kit. I always deal with Lou. The man is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Let him know Eddy from Peel reffered you.

Its located on Stanfield Road in Missisauga. Stanfield runs north/south between Dundas and Queensway. West of Dixie road. Call em if you want to for a price 905-848-3500.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
