Hey guys, Just took my car out of the barn for the summer and the brakes are really bad !!!! I can hit the floor with the pedal ?
Do you think it is air the lines or what ? I just had the brakes done last year ?
Should I bleed them and then re-check ?

Is there still fluid in the master cylinder? If so I would suspect there is air in the lines. If it is low on fluid, add fluid and have someone pump the brakes while you go around the vehicle and listen/look for a leaking line. If no leaks are found bleed the brakes and see if that works. The last resort would be a bad brake booster if equiped.

Yes there is no leaks and there is plenty of fluid, I had power brakes put in last year and they also did all new pads and shoes.
I will bleed them and then see whats up, sounds like air in the lines to me
