Over the last few years I have had major brake problems probably due to incompetent repair and or parts.

In 2002 had new brakes, rotors and bearings done a local Vespia shop. Spent $650.

Less than 10,000 miles later, right front caliper and hoses replaced at a "discount" by same shop.

1 1/2 years later, Left front caliper replaced and both front brakes done by Pep Boys since I no longer wanted to deal with Vespia. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

2 years later, Replaced both front rotors, and left front caliper and brake pads by Pep Boys again.

Between the first brake job (120K) and last one (142K) I have spent $1569 on brakes!!

Last night (1.5 years later) brakes began squealing and pulling hard to right with a thunk sound. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I am so frustrated I could scream. Of course enough time lapses that the brakes and warranty are no longer covered.

I guess I'm just ranting but are there any part manufacturers or recommendations that I should do this time? I have had it with Vespia and Pep Boys. Will be doing a search for a reputable garage in South Jersey within 20 miles of Berlin, NJ.

Heading to the poor house at a high speed with no brakes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
