Need car help ASAP!!!!

[Shrebly]

Ok, here is the situation, I pulled into the driveway and went to tap the brakes, they went all the way to the floor - I was only going about 2 mph so no big deal - I put it in park and pumped them a few times and they recovered. I called my mechanic and he said it sounds like the master brake cylinder going.

My neighbor checked the brake fluid and he said it looked a little low. I haven't seen any leaks at all - even threw a cardboard box under it and let it sit.

So now I am scared shitless to drive it anywhere. How can I avoid getting ripped off? I know this guy is cool as hell and he has NEVER ripped me off before but he can't tkae me until Friday - so if I have to take it to someone else to get it fixed how can I avoid getting fucked?

Sorry but I am so freaked out right now....

If you drove all the way from Arizona to cut my lines I think it's safe to say you need to get a life.

You might just have a loose hose that is connected to the master cylinder??

i wouldnt drive it,like harmonic said it could be a loose connection but it definatly relates to the master cylinder,dont risk it this shit just goes and your fucked

got a parking brake, pull it next time if need be, or gear down also. It is on your back brakes which are probably drums. If all else fails forward your gear to me

OK, I wasn't aware my car had nipples... where exactly are they? When I put the car in park and pumped the brakes the "pressure" came back. Also, does the brake light come on just when you use the parking break or when you have brake trouble? I am so car stupid....

Beast is right they are relativley cheap to replace, I had a reconditioned onee put in for 275 about a year ago. Now I got to get a cv joint for my other car. That or just start getting rid of some of this stuff!
