Breaks and Rotors question...?

Question:
I got my break pads replaced not to long ago, but now i'm hearing a squeaking noise from the rear left side and just recently i smell a burning smell.. someone told me it's my rotors, if this is the case does anyone have a ball park estimate of how much this type of work would go for?

you can take your rotors in to get machined (which you should probably do whenever you change your brake pads). You can get this done at any shop, or even at Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, or the equivalent. It'll cost you about $15 per rotor.

Why do I keep having to add power steering fluid?


Other than that it might get pricey, depending on the car. I would try to find some at a junkyard and then get them machined.

Where does transmission fluid go in a 1996 sc1 saturn car?

its not the rotors. if its coming from the back (depending on the year of your car and if when you had the pads changed before, if they did the front and the back) then it would be the shoes and drums, possibly. usually a "brake job" is only the front or the back. most places charge between $60 - 200 per side. depending on the degree of difficulty.

would a bad m.a.p. senor on a 1992 buick regal 3.1 cause the the firing to stop?

if you smell the burning smell and squeak your brakes may be sticking, could be a stuck caliper, or a warped rotor. you can have your rotors turned at a local shop, i dont believe it costs too much, probably cheaper if you remove it yourself and take it in the reinstall it yourself. but i would have the caliper checked before going throught the trouble.

what is the basic knowledge to buy a new car?

hard to give an estimate you may have just glazed a pad I am willing to bet that you did not break in the new pads or turn the rotors when you replaced them

Has anyone had a bad experience with one of those quick oil change place?


Always do a series of long easy stops (10) letting your brakes cool completely between stops to bed them to the roters or break them in

Can a loose air intake hose cause an engine to run rich or mess up oxygen sensor readings?

It's not your rotors. Your pads aren't seated and are glazing, hense the smell.

Find a long patch of fairly deserted highway in the country and seat your brakes.

Warm them up by slowly braking from 60 to 35 about 4 times. Waiting 2 or 3 minutes between slow downs. Then go from 60 to 0 about 3 times waiting 2 to 3 minutes each time.

This should deglaze the brake pads and seat the brakes to your rotors.

Seating is a process that literally transfers material from your pads and embeds them into the rotor. Glazing prevents this and causes squeaking.

Go back to who did your brakes.

2000 chevy malibu ls remote..any suggestions?


Squealing with a burning smell indicates that you have pads rubbing. That wheel is not allowing the pads to retract from the rotor far enough..
This can be caused by several things..
Improperly installed
dirt or rust
foreign objects caught in the caliper (pebbles etc..)
Bad caliper.
But it is not supposed to do that.

1980 ford f150?


The type of car would set the price. Some cheaper cars the rotors only cost like $25 @.. .but faster cars and / or heavier cars the price can go up into the $100's
Average to about $100 for swapping the rotor.. .but they need to find out why the pads were sticking
