Ask him why. Normally if caliphers are not leaking or binding you don,t
replace them.

'95 Grand Prix Question...
I am being told by a mechanic that when he does my rear brakes (shoes
to be replaced - rotors are ok), that he HAS to replace my calipers
too.
Any truth to this?
Thanks

Not that I know of. If there is a specific problem with
the rear calipers, like they are siezed or leaking...then
yes, you may need new calipers. But if they retract
properly and aren't leaking, and you don't have any
wierd pad wear (like one pad worn completely out,
while the other pads are like new....or one set of
pads worn out prematurely) there is no reason
to have to install new calipers.
Can you say "upsell"?

Thanks Ian and Jim,
He has told me that they HAVE to be changed every time the pads are. I
think "Upsell" is definitely the word to use here. That was my
thought right from the start.
Appreciate the confirmation. Time to find me a new garage!
