Brakes

[sel2000]

I replaced the front calipers, rotors and brake pads on my 2000 SEL Solara in April 2006 at a local shop in Richmond Hill. Brake warning light comes on in February 2007 and dealer discovers calipers leaking and brake pads soaked in fluid!! S0 $900 to the first shop for brakes all around and 10 months later $600 for the dealer to rebuild the front. To say the least I am not impressed.

if you got new front calipers and all brake components done at one shop less than a year before failure, you should return to the original shop.

You definately need to see if theres a warranty on those calipers (you'll usually get a year on parts)

Why'd you replace the calipers to begin with?

Why'd you replace the calipers to begin with?

That was going to be my question also...

The shop probably didn't use OEM calipars and rebuilds of some aftermarket ones...

This is why i stick to OEM on some stuff...

Calipers were replaced as they were sticking, seized on one side and causing brake chatter in the front end. Probably a result of road salt corrosion. Thanks for the comments, dealer is expensive, but at least the quality is there.

Was this in Richmond Hill Ontario? If yes please let me know what shop so I do not go there.
