Well, they were right until the butchering part...

After they get through with it, maybe.

Yeah, something in your brakes is broke. And that dealer is not only
incompetent, they are dishonest. As I was reading your story, I looked
back at the age of the car and thought... this things only 3-4 years
old? Isn't there a warranty or something?
You could always bring it to a real mechanic and have them fix it (maybe
that second dealer you're going to has one or two?).
