Brakes soft after bleeding? 200

Hi Guys-

I had to take my 240 sedan to a mechanic for some front end work which required them to temporarily detach the brake lines. When I got it back the brakes are very soft- I need to pump them several times and then they still need to move pretty far down in order to stop. The mechanic said they would be that way at first, then get better with use.

Is that true? What's up with that?

Thanks,
Keith
