Brake pedal almost to the floor
A local shop drained , bled, and refilled the brake fluid. Immediately after, I notice that the brake pedal goes almost all the way to the floor. I don't recall this happening prior to the fluid change. The car stops fine, but after I stop the pedal keeps going. There's plenty of fluid and no leaking from the bleeders. The mechanic drove it and pronounced the brakes in fine working order.
Is that much brake pedal travel normal? Is there anything else I should look for?

Your master brake cylinder is bad. Not a good sign sine you just got it back.Basically the seals in the master brake cylinder a re leaking internally or won't hold the preassure and it slowly releases preassure from your brakes.
