Hey guys,

First timer here, and also newbie with cars.

Here are some basic details first:

Car Year: 1999

Make: Toyota

Model: CBU Corolla Conquest Auto Liftback (AE112 Liftback)

So anyway, my family has been taking the car to the original dealer for services/repairs since we first purchased it. After the last service, they noted that there were oil leaks in the front left strut and recommended me to replace both sides for $1,100 including wheel alignment.

I have not acquired quotes from other places yet, but I just want to know if anyone else have recommendations on where else I can go to get the struts replaced?

Is the price quoted by the original dealer unacceptable? (I believe the parts for the struts itself are quite cheap)

If I want to use a non-OEM part, which brand I should go for?

I live in Brisbane southside, so it would be great if anyone could recommend me to a good mechanic / place to get this done, as well as the next service at 150,000km. (also requires a timing belt replacement)

Are there any suspension specialists that you guys would recommend? (south side again preferably)

Many thanks!
