I actually think I spend less on my brakes by going to my Pontiac dealer, where they replace what needs to be replaced, and use quality parts that last longer than going to Midas. I used to take our previous Bonneville (197
and Grand Prix (198 to Midas. I take our current Bonneville (1997) and Grand Prix GT (2001) to the dealer.
