Just had the brake fluid changed and the system requires a second pump to get a solid pedal. The dealer said this is normal. Seems odd to me. Trapped air? Brake hoses giving? Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

There is air in the system. Have them properly bleed it.

 

I am concerned that they don't know how. Any tricks?

Any shop should be able to bleed the brakes. Take it to a local meineke or anything like that, they should be able to do it for you.

Or do it yourself as Mahjik suggested.

 

yep...bleed the brakes. I had the same symptom till I bled it again.

 

yup, and get soem speedbleeders, it makes the job very easy.

 

If they really don't know what they're doing, make sure you keep the resevoir 3/4 - totally full. I had these symptoms last time before I realized that you can get air from the resevoir WELL before the fluid gets to the bottom.
