My Brake pedal is low after rotor/pad replacement from local auto guy.
Anyone know why?
I had new tires and wheels refinished, so had him do brakes too.

Check the brake fluid reservoir and see if it at the max, secondly if he did use MB parts they do take a while to bed in !! Plus the brake system will need to adjust to the replacements all takes a few miles!!!!

Had it to the MB dealer yesterday and it was the Anti Rattle Clips not being installed correctly on the pads.
