brake job... and after market parts voids all warranties of course.

I had not heard any such thing. *Since when do they void all warranties for
using aftermarket parts? *Doesn't seem like that could be true since there
is a complete LKQ industry out there that insurance companies drive.

I hadn't heard about that either. This could apply to fleet operators
who do their own maintenance maybe?
I will investigate further. But, what is the scoop on the insane
pricing of GM rotors (for instance) vs Ford?
And it's not just brake parts..all parts.

A single look at the charts in Consumer Reports is enough to give
anyone enough clue to avoid all GM vehicles altogether, and they
remained high all through the years. The worst vehicles, akin to the
Yugo.
