Brake problem
in [Toyota Camry]
|
From: CD on 6 Oct 2008 19:53 I just recently bought a 2003 Camry "as is" from a Toyota dealer, and they told me they "did the brakes" on the car. However, a few days later, the brakes are squeaking faintly but noticeably. Is this normal or should I have them re-checked?

Any brake shop will look for free thinking you need brakes, if they were done you will see the rotors are ground and pads thick, i never heard of "adjusting" new disk brakes, the thing is for you to find out, and learn, instead if trusting a car dealer. Once a guy said he changed my oil, I checked it and said he didnt, he said " take your money and dont come back" I didnt ask for the money but I took it and never went back. Once i was at Midas for a brake flush, they didnt know I was looking, they only flushed one wheel. I got the job free. Sears just screwed me on a battery and oil, I wrote the DA and didnt have to pay, they are all crooks. You brakes are likely not new or rotors not turned

You brakes are likely not new or rotors not turned All of the above are reasons I invested in a good floor jack, jackstands, assorted tools and a manual to be able to do this sort of work myself whenever possible (thanks, Dad). My guess is there is a good chance they slapped on the cheapest set of pads they had and didn't spend much time making sure they had proper anti-squeal pads or compound when installed. Most parts supply stores carry the anti-squeal compound for about 5 bucks or less.
