Hey all. Been browsing these forums for a while now, but just registered an account because I need some help figuring out if a mechanic is lying to me.
I have a 98 Accord with 200k miles that needed the rear brakes, calipers, rotors, and rotor shields replaced. I left it with a new mechanic while I was on vacation, came back and he told me everything was done.
Driving home from the mechanic, brakes began to feel spongey. I called and told the mechanic who said they power bled / pressure bled the brakes so it's strange the brakes were spongey.
Driving back to the mechanic, there was almost no brakes.
Now the mechanic says all four of my brake lines "rusted through"! And it's not his fault. Is that even possible for them to rust? I thought they were made of copper.
My suspicion is that they pressure bled the brakes and it caused the lines to burst.
Thanks for any feedback!
