Brake question
Ey guys, this question is not for my s2k but for other bum around 90 corolla GTS that I own. Last week I had the brake serviced, brake pads, rotors, etc. After couple hours they told me my master cylinder was screwed and that the brake was very low. So mas-cylinder was changed, problem persists, then they claimed it was one of the rear brake calipers. At this point I didn't see any relevance and told them to either fix it in 24 hours or im pulling out the car from their shop. 7 hours later the car was fixed, they said they overhauled? the brake caliper. I drove the car and the brake feels ok, but I have this weird feeling that its gonna go anytime (dont trust the car anymore). Is there a test I can do to make sure everything is 100% back to normal? Or shall I say as reliable as it was before the repair?

Mash the *&^% out of the brake pedal with the engine off. If it feels like it's not holding pressure, or if there is any fluid on the brake pad on the rebuilt caliper, then you've got a problem.
More than likely they couldn't find a leak, put new seals in the rear caliper. Should be fine now.
