My car****** left and right after I hit a curb I got a new rim and tire and the mechanic said I needed brakes and rotors and I did that and now it still does it. I went to another shop and he said he could fix it but wouldnt tell me what it was and wants me to wait a week.

Brakes and rotor won't cause the vehicle to wonder left and right unless a caliper is frozen. He didn't fix that nor do I think that is the problem. I would recommend checking the control arms to make sure they are not bent or damaged in any way. Also, check to make sure all steering components are tight including the tie rods, ball joints.
