The Mitsu parts to rebuild my rear calipers cost the same as a rebuilt unit from Advance or Autozone. I don't mind the minor work involved to do it and I'll have refreshed calipers with Mitsu parts in them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I went through numerous autozone alts. Luckily I kept my Mitsu unit and got it rebuilt in the end. No more problems with that. I have to say one store I returned an alt to were fine (had to go back later that day as they didn't have enough cash in the register <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> ) and another store were p!ss'd off about it. No idea why. To me a lifetime warranty means I get my money back if it breaks, especially after 2 months of mediocre voltage output.

They don't replace brake pads under the lifetime warranty either. That's the 'limited' part. I wasn't surprised. Imagine buying a set of brake pads once for the whole time you own the car <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> That would be too good to be true.

Besides, most parts at those places are not really cheaper than the stealer. I'm getting along nicely with my local Mitsu parts guy. I can call him to order parts without paying over the phone, he calls me when they arrive. Simple. The other day I picked up some brake parts and had paid when I remembered I wanted an oil filter and crush washer. He said won't worry about it and gave them to me for free <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Needless to say, I will go back there again and again.
