Check BRAKE PAD WEAR message !!!

Hi all.

Yesterday I picked up my car from the shop and I saw a message on the board "Check brake pad wear".

The prehistory of this notification is the following.

One month ago I've dropped my car to the insurance-shop in order to get done some repairs on the driver's side due to a hit and run accident (the repairs consisted in: replacing the tail light, fixing the driver's door handle, and re-painting all driver's side and fender, also they performed and a wheel alignment too). Overall the impact was small, just a big scratch.
Also, the odometer showed 10 km more than when I've dropped the car in the shop.
BTW, the car was purchased 4 months ago with a new brakes + pads and I've put only 5000 km since I got the car.

!!! The shop could not explain to me, why this notification comes up, blaming the coincidence factor.

Did anybody encounter a similar issue?

Need advice, please.

Thank you in advance.

It's possible they took one wheel off and maybe disconnected or broke the wire attached to the brake wear sensor....

Sensor is only on the front and back right side of the car. There are not on all four wheels. Pull off the wheel and see if the sensor is damaged
