caliper rebuild in GTA

I need to get my calipers rebuild since they are seized up. I dont want to get used ones, I want a place that actually will rebuild mine.

Any suggestion? Of course i will take them off to bring them to the place.

imo the money you'll spend to get them rebuilt will be around the same as buying a new one from napa or ct

I almost had to replace my brake calipers on SiR last Oct.

Honda wanted $450 ish for a rebuilt one.
Carquest, NAPA where all like $250 ish each.

You might be able to rebuilt it yourself, if you can get some new seals and hopefully just some emory paper. Hopefully there isn't any serious rust in the brake caliper ie. pits, etc

BUT FOR THE HASSLE I would rather just buy a rebuilt one and trade my old ones in for the CORE $$.

I wouldn't rebuild a caliper yourself. It's easy but I've never had real success with the ones i've seen

Vizeta, how come those two places u posted has every similar looking ad format? just wondering.

I really dont want to buy a rebuild one, i just dont know how the previous owner did to them. On the other hand, i would have no clue if the place would give me back the one the ones i give them anyway.

I will try calling midland, midwest and LEITNER
