Just ask them to show you while they're still on the car. If they have
already shown you a pads off the car, then you know what they look like. On
the car look to see what's between the plate and the rotor (big shiny disk
that gets squeezed by the brake pads). Actually you can easily look at the
outer pad yourself by simply removing the wheel as if changing a flat.
If, as has been discussed, the inner or outer pad is gone and the other one
on the same wheel looks like new, you have a stuck caliper. If that is the
case, repair should be covered under the new car warranty.
