It was. They replaced the master cylinder. The rear brake shoes a rear brake wheel cylinder.
They did not touch the e brake. They had it for three weeks mainly because I had to order the parts but when they broke one of them, they were able somehow to have it ordered over night. Unfortunately, I am still out of a job and now this has devolved into some sort of pissing contest between the two shops and me and the bug are caught up in the middle of it. New diagnosis by the brake shop is the front drum cylinders were leaky and need replaced along with the shoes. Because of the situation, they are offering me $89 to fix. Plus parts which I have to scrounge. They are forgoing the tow from the other shop but claimed that the other shop broke off one of the lug nuts. Still no job. Still no bug.
