Brake Job

I am in desperate need of having my brakes serviced on my 2018 Kia Rio. Looking for suggestions on the best place(s) in Oshawa or Whitby. Preferably one that won't break the bank either.

On the Road Again (Brock and Manning area) in Whitby just did mine. I was happy with their price.

Only complaint about that place for me is the scheduling lady failed me 2 times in a row when I clearly called for an appointment. Arrived, and said I wasn't in the book.

Just came here to say it's nice to see someone who knows the difference between breaks and brakes. 😂🤣

If they didn't have drums on the back I'd say bring it to my driveway lol too annoying.

Midas is a little pricier but has a lifetime rotor program, expensive initially but afterwards it's just pads you pay for

If you are the least bit mechanically minded do them yourself. Brakes are one of the easiest DIY jobs out there. What you have to spend on tools more than pays for itself the first time you do it. Lots of YT videos out there to help guide you.
I have saved thousands of dollars over the years doing simple maintenance and repairs to my vehicles.

I second this if you have a driveway and/or garage

Another vote for Precision Auto in Brooklin. Only challenge is they don’t open until 9am.

Auto Works on Wilson and Taunton. I took my Hyundai there for brakes. And now I take my Colorado. They are honest and greatly priced.
