I took my car to the Ford Dealership yesterday. My idiot boyfriend works there but doesnt know crap about brakes so he had his friend there do them.
I put a new master cylinder in and his friend bleed them. Now today the pedal is all the way down to the floor. can someone help me figure out what is wrong with it? should I bleed them again?

Welcome to AF!!
Bleed the brakes again and if that doesn't fix the problem you will have to bleed the master cylinder and then bleed the brakes.

It sounds to me like the dealership isn't the brightest bulb in the box either. Could that also explain poor service at Ford dealerships?
Oh yeah, be sure all of the brakeline connections that were opened are tight, as they may let in air. If not correctly bled, more air will get into the system.
