Brake Pads

How do I know if my brake pads were changed 100% correct?

I had my brake pads replaced and now when I press on the brakes it takes more effort to brake than before. The car does come to a complete stop, just takes more effort. Were they changed incorrectly, or could it be another problem?

i own a repair shop,and they should be better than what they was before,if there not id go back and have them checked by the shop that did it,they should at least stop better ,with less effort on the pedal,it might pay to go back and have them checked,and be there when they take the wheel off and have them show you what they done to it,,after all it was your money that was spent on it,you have a right to see what was done,i always let my customers see what im doing to there car,this way they know exactly what was done to it,but id take it back if your having problems stopping it,good luck with it,and be care full,i hope this help,s
