My moron nephew replaced the brake fluid in my mothers car with power steering fluid, approx 1 month ago, the brakes no longer work, obviously
my question is, I found a mechanic who said it would cost $1200 to $1300, because he would have to replace all the parts of the brake system, is this a reasonable assumption, or should I look for another mechanic?
