Recently had my 1999 outback wagon worked on and drove a rental. After getting my car back, the brakes feel "spongy". The car stops fine, but not like the rental does. That kind of worries me.
Do I need new brake pads? Tires?
The shop I had the repairs (front end) done said my pads are fine and I have about 50% of tire tread left.
Well, just looking at them, the pads are rusted. But that seems common on lots of cars. Would new pads help fix this, or do I have more serious problems?
