Hi, I'm confused. This is my single-parent daughter's car: 136,205 miles. It runs well. Both of us are at the mercy of mechanics. And sorry, I'm not sure I trust them not to sell you things you don't need or use budget parts. So, I'm going to get parts at rockauto or anythingauto and hope for a decent local mechanic.
We need to replace spark plugs. Does she get platinum or double platinum? Is one better than the other? Why?
It has been recommended to replace the rear struts. Should she be buying a quick strut assembly from Gabriel, KYB or ??
The brakes have a bit of play in them, so we were told to first try to clean and adjust the discs/drums. The front are newer. If that doesn't do it, any ideas for brand of parts that would be best to look at.
She doesn't make much money and needs to keep the car going and going.
