and the mechanic there confirmed what I suspected: brake pads completely gone and the rotors were damaged beyond repair. Mondo expensive brake job and was unsafe to drive on. I gave them the inspection sheet that the previous mechanic had given me and the dealership confirms that all details, save the brakes, match up to my car. They are as confused as I am.

Anyone have any advice about what my next step should be to hold the first mechanic accountable? It was a AAA Car Care Center.

The same thing happened to me.
As for the next step, I'd write a letter to the manager mentioning what had occurred, the expense and time it had cost you and the fact that their multi point check list wasn't worth the paper it was written on and leave the karma with him and enjoy your new brakes.
