Air Brakes
How can I tell if there is air in my car's brakes?

My car's brakes work fine, and always stop right away, but I have to put the pedal almost to the floor. This is my first car and I just got my license. Any advice?

It sounds like you do have air in the brakes. Best have it checked out by a shop before you have an accident. It needs to be checked out to find out if you have a leak and repaired and have the brakes properly bled so that you have a safe vehicle.
