I got my brakes replaced today. They were smoking at first but I knew that was a normal thing. So after driving 20 minutes with people telling me my car was smoking, I got home to find out that my hub cap had nearly melted in half. Not only was it smoking, but it was putting off extreme amounts of heat. I had my rotors and my pads replaced (all of which I just replaced a year ago). I don't know what to do. I'm very weary about driving my car anywhere. What could be wrong?
