Default 2003 S type R Supercharged front brake issue

Just had the car at the shop to have front rotors and pads replaced and the front driver side caliper. When I picked it up from the shop the brake pedal had to be pushed almost flush to the floor for the brakes to work. Why wouldn't they be working????

Probably not bled correctly.

That was my first thought. I went back and they wanted to argue that it was fine. I'm going to try a different shop in the morning. The brake line was fine and the calipers are new.

The STR has 2 bleeders on each caliper. I highly doubt they bled them right if the pedal doesn't feel right after they worked on it.
