    Buy them anywhere BUT online sources!

    NOTE: Online auto parts look like a good deal but, a lot of these places sell "Blem" or returned credit parts and by the time you pay the shipping, they are not such a good deal anymore! You will also have problems if you get a defective part online!

    I like [in order of preference]

    Local mom & pop

    NAPA

    AutoZone

    What matters most is the actual part they have for sale. Don't buy brands you haven't hear of or suspiciously cheap priced parts. You'll be looking for Raybestos & Packard as good standard replacement pads and wires.

    It seems these days you will find the same quality foreign made parts at any of the above places, shop around, just avoid the super cheap parts.

    The parts store will know which brands are the most reliable, even better than the customers due to complaints.

    If you talk to enough people, you'll hear bad things about every auto parts store out there.

    Part of this is due to human error, part is due to poorly trained parts people.

    In any case, I agree with Bluto that the best are those that he suggested, and in the same order.
