Re: Re: Burning smell -1998 camry

I went to the mechanic yesterday and he told me that this is due to fauly calipers and changed both the front calipers for 400$. now he change all pads,rotors and calipers and i really feel ripped off since he charged me 140$ for 1 caliper as compare to same caliper that is available in store for 55$(bendix). and for some reason i still have burning smell and he told me that since it is new brake caliper,rotor so smell will come for 1-2 week. i hope he is telling the truth this time.

Thanks
