its ok I guess .. wasnt at a dealership right?

I payed 250$ to get my front disk/pads replaced, synthetic oil change, get my winter tires removed to get my summer tires on and got my exhaust welded back on his support cuz it was broken from backing up into big ass ice bank during winter

Not sure what province you are in, but that's good considering where I am BC its $90-115 an hour shop rate.



Op lives in montreal and yea its about 90-115$ usually

my dude charge like 60$ and sometimes he doesnt even charge me the time like when i got my radiator changed he only charged me the part

yeah you got ripped off, I would have told him to just remove the brakes.

brakes don't give hp so are pretty useless on a car


I make my cars to go, not to stop.

You got screwed as soon as you/your family bought the Colbalt in the first place.

nope.

sounds like warped rotor



Does colbalt make a model with rear disc brakes? Pretty sure they are drums and the mechanic prob' just rebuilt them.

I don't think it's a bad little economy car.
A 09+ Cobalt SS are pretty quick cars for what they are.
260hp and its like a 2900-3000lb car

Someone I work with has one, I rode in it once, pretty zippy and can hold a corner good imo.
