Yesterday, when I turned on my car, the brake warning light and then the service light came on. What does that mean?

that usually means your brake fluid is low in your master cylinder. check to see if it is low. if it is you either have a leak or your brakes are worn out. most likely your brakes just need to be replaced. check the fluid and let me know how it goes.
