Dana,

The damage you describe doesn't happen quickly, but is the result of neglect 
over a long period of time.  Whoever did the tech inspections prior to your 
"special driving classes" should also be crossed off your list of quality 
repair shops.

Also, if your brake lines "nearly burst", they are damaged and should be 
replaced ASAP.
