Title: Parking Brake Mountings
Post by: Mr C on May 16, 2024, 20:17:07
I have run a 2012 Santa Fe from new with no great issues ( apart from a mystery rear door lock issue) but my trusted mechanic advised me that the steel mounts that hold the hand brake pads in place had corroded. He called the distributor for a price and was told they were £238 plus vat - EACH!! There are not non Hyundai parts on the market. I rang around and was told the same thing.

I queried this with Hyundai today. Their line is that the dealers set the price. I pushed back on this and they insist it’s true even though I said it can’t be correct. They then stoped replying. My understanding is that this is a simple pressed steel part. Does anyone have any insight into parts  pricing or know of any less well known suppliers of non branded Hyundai parts.

Cheers

Ok, so you've had your car for 12+ years, trouble free?, yet you don't want to spend £500~ keeping yourself safe?
