Recon work

So, out of curiosity today, I decided, because I have nothing better to do, to see what parts are readily available for the Vibe. And amazingly enough, NOBODY except the dealer carried the brake pads and shoes for a 2003 Base (or GT for that matter) I checked the 3 auto parts stores in the area. Advance, AutoZone, and a local chain - Frank's auto supermarket. None of them had the part and Advance didn't even have the part number. Is this standard across the country or are we behind the times here?

Don't have one of those around here. Ordered OEM replacements from TireRack.com and got them for ~$35usd shipped. Cheaper than if I would have bought them at an auto parts store.

So I got the brakes. It only took a few minutes per wheel, VERY EASY TO DO.
