Guys I have drove it and I'm sure the breaks are bedded. My pedal isn't as responsive. I seem to need to push the pedal a little more to get the car stopped. I know the mechanic prbly replaced just the pads. Do you think I need to get them bleeded to solve this problem?

get him to bleeded them.
also if you planning to own the car for a long time like me then change the brake lines to SS lines
