Is the pedal hard to push all of the way? You may have a bad vacuum assist. Does the car have a rough idle? This may be the vacuum assist leaking vacuum and the engine doesn't have enough vacuum to run.
Has the car been sitting? The calipers may be stuck and requiring more presure to stop the car.
Becarful about "free inspections". Those inspections are to get your car into their garage and make work. A friend of mine sold a Lesaber to a friend of his. This friend took the car in for a tranny fluid change. They told him he needed a tranny rebuild. The tranny was fine. My friend had owned the car since new and had never experienced a problem with it an it was serviced regulary. The orginanal owner, my friend, really babies his cars and was only selling it because he bought a NEW Lesaber because this one was getting close to 100,000 miles. The shop learned that this guy knew nothing about cars and took him for a ride.
Just thoughts.
