Save money and get better quality by ordering your own brake pads and rotors. Most mechanic shops charge high markups on parts, and you’re not always sure what brand or quality they install. By purchasing a complete brake kit yourself, you get trusted quality, the exact fit for your vehicle, and the best value.

Mechanic shops usually charge 1.5 to 2 hours of labor per axle, with hourly rates ranging from $100 to $140. Bringing your own brake parts can save you a significant amount on both parts and labor—while ensuring your car gets high-quality components.

You can order essential filters such as oil filters, air filters, and cabin air filters. If you use conventional oil, you should change your oil every 3,000 to 4,000 km, and with synthetic oil, every 6,000 to 8,000 km.

Your air filter should be replaced every other oil change, and your cabin air filter should be changed every season to keep clean air flowing in your vehicle.

For even more savings, you can order your filters in bulk—perfect for regular maintenance and long-term cost efficiency.

Sometimes it makes more sense to replace the entire strut assembly instead of just the coil springs, because the cost of coil springs alone can be higher than replacing the complete strut. For better stability and handling, it is also recommended to replace both struts on the same axle, not just one side.

You can order a complete strut kit to save more on parts.

Labor time for replacing struts usually ranges from 3 to 5 hours per axle, depending on the vehicle’s year and model.

This is a very common issue in cars that are 5 years old or older. If a vehicle has been in an accident, the CV axle shaft is also one of the parts that can easily get damaged.

The labor cost to repair or replace a CV axle shaft usually takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on the vehicle.

To save money on parts, you can order a CV axle shaft kit, which is often much more affordable compared to OEM parts while still providing reliable performance.
