Just got the front rotors and pads replaced at a local Speedy garage. The brakes squeal sometimes especially after I drive for like 30 mins. I sent her to the garage but the guys told me that they did not hear any squealing sound. I think they just took a short test drive like 5 mins max and tried to push their responsibility for fixing it.

Any ideas what might cause that? I think they installed cheap stuff on my little Mazda which led to the squealing sound. As they deny that no sound was detected, It makes me to take a video to record the case. I am just afraid that they still haggling with me even if I show them the video. Any suggestions guys? Plz! Much appreciate!

You should take it to an independent mechanic/garage to get it looked at. Get a second opinion and if something's wrong, have the mechanic write a diagnostic report then bring it to Speedy.

they are prob. not bedded-in properly.
i had the same problem, i pulled the pads out, sanded with very fine sandpaper, put them back in, bedded them in properly, problem gone.

Put anti-squeal on the back of the pads and bed them in properly.
