The Price of Genuine Parts

Okay, I noticed that the brake pads on my vehicle were getting a bit thin, plus the continuous noise of metal grinding suggesting time for a change.

Anyway, being a Toyota RAV4 the obvious choice for parts is Ela Motors, and being particular about the integrity of parts I sought a dealer at the company and requested a quotation for brake pads. The quote came back a few hours later – for more than K500!

My new brake pads worth over K500.
While other dealers might offer this particular item for less, I've always thought that quality should be considered over pricing, and safety is also a priority.

Needless to say, I walked out of Ela Motors Badili today with new brake pads worth over K500. Next on the line is a fuel and air filter and windshield wipers.
