Brake failed earlier today Options

[DaijoubuDa]

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum

(Just bought a 97 Celica ST around 2 weeks ago)

I was driving earlier today, then suddenly, I heard a pop/snap noise and my brake just stopped working. (i.e. I have to step on the brake petal until it hit the floor in order to slow down the car slightly, and I didn't feel any resistant when I was stepping on the brake petal) I drove the car to the closest mechanics available but he won't have time to look at it until tomorrow morning. So, I just want to hear your opinion on what is the cause of the issue because I don't want to get rip off by the guy.

Thanks in advance.

That wouldn't cause you to lose all of your brakes though, unless he forgot to say something about the wheel cylinder.

I don't recall what he said exactly, but he did mention a couple other things beside the drum and shoe when I was talking to him on the phone.

I didn't get a chance to go to the shop to look at the problem, but to be honest, I don't really have too much choices anyway. The problem occurred when I was like 20 miles away from home, and the car is not drivable with no brake. So, I either have to trust the guy or have the car tow to someone I can trust... He said he will get it done by the end of today or tomorrow, so I will just ask him to show me the parts that he had replaced when I go pick up the car.
