2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 170k miles.
-Still original brakes
-Only done maintenance on it, no issues.
immediately replaced rotors/pads and replaced yellowed headlights. All the parts were dirt cheap on Rock Auto.
I swapped my FJ cruiser stock front brakes for the larger GX460/V8 4Runner discs, calipers, and shields, as well as adding stainless lines as a nice upgrade package.
recently went to brakemasters to get brake pads for my 2014 rav 4. Set of front brake pads only ( 4 pads) with labor total $180.
Man I love my old Corolla. $20 for front brake pads and a half hour of relaxing wrenching to do the job.
I've had my 2013, 89,000 miles, which isn't *that* old but still, and have had zero mechanical problems. Only maintenance and expected repairs like brake pads or air filters.
Did the brakes myself on my elantra and spent about $60. Brakes are super easy and massively overcharged by dealers.
Toyota hybrids have no starter, no belts, no alternator to wear out and the brake pads and disks last around 100,000 miles due to little use
I just had my sister-in-law's 2008 Highlander in my garage on Sunday after she professed that at 150k miles that the brakes were finally making some noise. I ordered a round of rotors and pads and intended to spend a few hours replacing the brakes and the blower motor for the front, as it has been a bit inconsistent in operation. I put the Highlander up on jackstands and pulled the wheels off, and the brakes looked like they had about 10k miles on them.. I was just stunned. I ended up just putting some brake squeal compound on the back of the pads and sent her on her way. They are truly robust and under-rated vehicles.
Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
