Brake paddle is soft after a brake job

[JSJay]

Guys, I feel my brake paddle is soft and spongy after doing a caliper repair (brake bind fix).

I need to get it to the earlier level which was very firm, and that is the level that I am comfortable with. When I told this to repairshop they did a brake bleed but brake paddle did not come to that firm level.

what can I do? will a full brake oil flush fix this?

Please recommend a good place to get this checked.

did you replace the ABS module as well ? If so the brake pedal should feel normal now. You may need to adjust to the new condition

No, the repair was a simple caliper repair kit replacement, caliper piston was stuck due to some rust.

You need to bleed the air out properly. If the pads are new, let them bed.

Need to bleed air put from all four properly
And sometimes happens if ABS module has failed aswell

Bleed the brake system. Its a two men job. Go to any garage. Simple process
