Damn..I thought those SVC guys are supposed to bleed it off completely.

Ok, here's the thing; if your car has ABS the tech performing the service is also supposed to take due care to ensure the system is bled properly.

If they've taken short cuts due to pressure of getting the job done ASAP (which is quite the norm) there may be a little bit of air that's trapped in the system.

Please ask them to do a thorough check, bleed the system properly, top off the brake fluid (if required) and, most importantly, test the brakes when done.

Even the most inexperienced technician will know if the brakes are spongy and what causes it.

Yeah that's what I had thought that it would be the air in the system that's causing the sponginess besides,
Since I had got the fluid changed I was under the impression it's something else. Taking it back and asking him to recheck is a challenge!

Great and detailed DIY . This round portion is called the brake piston (single piston) which pushes the pads when the pressure is applied from the master cylinder.

Dude this looks pretty comprehensive, is there a way we can order the pads online?
