More than likely your "new" rebuilt master cylinder is kaput. I wouldn't say
it's the fault of the guy who did your brakes, it's just one of those "s**t
happens" things.

Need some advice on brakes.....Second time out last April, my brakes
failed on my '69 Chevelle. Had a repair shop that I have delt with in the
past and was very satisified with their work look at and make the repairs.
The master cylinder was replaced as well as the rear shoes and rebuild the
rear wheel cylinders . Checked the front discs and they were fine . Brakes
were working fine until yesterday...brake pedal went to the floor and the
brake lite came on . Good thing this happened in my driveway and not on the
road like the last time the brakes failed . Put the car back in the garage
and checked the brake fluid level and it fine, about a 1/4" fom the top. The
brake job has less then 1000 miles on it. Any ideas went could have happened
? Could it be the vacuum booster?
Thanks ,
Pete Hnat
