It's possible but since you didn't describe the noise and my crystal ball happens to be in the shop for maintenance at the moment, it could be anything. Since I don't have the advantage of actually seeing the condition of your brakes, I can't really evaluate them. Either this mechanic is "trusted" or not. Evidently, you don't trust him. Take it somewhere else for a second opinion.

I had the front and rear brakes & rotors fixed on my car. Now front caliper failed. Could this have been caused by mechanic?

We just replaced my front rotors and brake pads. My calipers were cleaned and rebuilt at the dealership. I have had the new brakes for a few days, and there is a slight knocking noise on the right side of the car. What could cause this?

A mechanic told me that the rattling under my car was my stabalizer link, and that even if it broke, it would be no problem.Was he correct? now today my passenger side front tire area seems a little "wobbly".Is it because of the stabalizer link?

My mechanic claims it's normal on newer cars to replace both the rotor and pads on disk brakes, due to the need for softer, non-asbestos pads. He says it is rare these days to turn down the rotors. 2004 Lexus RX330 owner.

Are you looking for a good mechanic in the Akron Cuyahoga Falls area? I was and several people recommended G&R Auto on Portage Trail. I am now so happy I went there, very honest, same day service for me (front and rear brakes + both front tie rod ends).
