Brakes are a relatively cheap option to change, especially pads. Unless you're totally certain that's the issue I would just go ahead and change them along with getting a new sensor that should be pretty cheap.

There is also a tool used by dealers that they insert into the calipers that measure the thickness of the pad left. The mechanic should have used that.
