Question
What is a good price for replacing the timing belt. I have been having problems with my brakes, Mitsubishi have repaired them four times.  When trying to brake they will vibrate and Once when it was raining I had an accident because my brakes wouldn't stop in time.  Do you have any suggestion on  how to repair these problems.

Answer
Jenis: I would say around $20.00 but then I work on older cars than your's. You should check around to different parts stores and see what they tell you. Or try the internet for the cost. As for your brakes I would say you have a leak someplace in your lines and so without the fluid to make the brakes work; you had that accident. You need to take your car someplace that just works on brakes. Because after four times at Mitsubishi would tell me they do not know what they are doing. Or else they are fixing the wrong thing. I understand with a newer car you like to stay with the dealership. But I think you need to check with a shop that works just on brakes, they would give your car a better check over and more time to find the problem. Hope this helps and good luck!
