Does it pull from the left or right when braking? also does it lock up any
of the wheels? could possibly be a brake calliper that's not letting go,
or leaking fluid. Go to another brake repairer for a second opinion, and
when you have found the answer, go back to the first guy that found nothing
and tell him what an idiot he is.
