Brake problems 850 1995

Hi,

Thanks for all your help.

How did the rotors become warped in the first place? The mechanic said that the front rotors will become warped again because the front brakes are uneven. How did the front brakes become uneven in the first place? Both the brakes and rotors are less than 10000 miles old. Even if I change new brakes and rotors, I may not address the problem because the rotors may become warped and the brakes uneven after a few thousand miles and I will be back where I started.

A friend had a look at my car and told me to buy a lubricant and spray it on the top tensioner in contact with the belt. He feels that my serpentine belt is less than 10000 miles old and will not snap. Will that work?

Mark, the main reason why I prefer a guy to bring the car to the mechanic is not because I do not trust the mechanic but because I had a really bad experience. Some guys feel that if I dress like a slut, I should expect to be treated like one. However, I feel that I am free to dress however I want. A mechanic’s job is to service the car (and he is paid to do that) and not anything else.
